Lake City, FL – Authorities in Columbia County are asking for the public’s help today in locating a missing adult last seen in the Lake City area late last week.
According to the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, Christopher Wilson, 41, was reported missing after he was last seen Friday morning around 11 a.m. in the area of SE Myrtis Dortch Terrace in southeast Lake City. Deputies say the location is near SE County Road 242 and SE County Road 245, an area that includes residential streets and rural roadways.
Investigators report that Wilson is a Black male who was last seen wearing a red or black jacket, blue jeans, and brown work boots, and was carrying a backpack at the time he disappeared. Authorities also say he was riding an e-bike, which may have allowed him to travel a wider distance than initially expected.
The sheriff’s office believes Wilson may have been seen in the area of SE Country Club Road and SE Baya Drive, which connects southeast Lake City to other parts of Columbia County and nearby roadways.
Deputies are urging anyone who lives in the area, travels those roads regularly, or has security cameras to review footage from Friday morning. Even small details could help determine Wilson’s direction of travel or last known location.
Anyone who sees Christopher Wilson or has information about his whereabouts is asked to contact the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office at (386) 719-2005 immediately.
Residents are also encouraged to share the alert to help expand visibility across Lake City, Columbia County, and surrounding North Florida communities.
