Clay County deputies ask for help finding missing 65-year-old man

Keith Edward Pereau last seen Monday morning

FLEMING ISLAND, Fla. – Keith Edward Pereau has not been seen since Monday morning and the Clay County Sheriff's Office is asking the public to help locate him.

Pereau is a white man with blue eyes and gray hair. He is  5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs around 205 pounds. He was last seen near Clay Street in Fleming Island. 

Clay County detectives, patrol deputies and others worked throughout the night Monday looking for Pereau and continue to search Tuesday.

"This is not currently a homicide investigation, as some have suggested; however, we are taking this case very seriously, as we are concerned for the well-being of Mr. Pereau," Sgt. Chris Padgett said in a statement.

Dave Reynolds, a neighbor, said he is concerned for Pereau's well-being.

“When I came home tonight (Tuesday) I was looking just to see if maybe he had fallen or somebody didn’t notice where he was or something because there's a lot of wooded area here," Reynolds said. "I hope that he just wandered off some place and somebody finds him here soon."

Anyone from the community who has seen Pereau or has any information about his disappearance is asked to call  the Sheriff's Office at 904-264-6512. They could also dial or text 911 if they see Pereau.

The Sheriff's Office asks people to use the hashtag #SeekingKeith for linking of posts about Pereau.
