St. Louis, MO – A Silver Alert remains active in St. Louis as police continue searching for a 63-year-old man who has been missing for several months and may be in danger due to medical conditions.
According to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, Tony Nelson was last seen on Friday, March 7, 2025, after reportedly walking away from his home in the 6000 block of Emma Avenue in north St. Louis. Authorities say he has not been heard from since.
Police describe Nelson as 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing approximately 150 pounds. Officials note that he has epilepsy and other medical issues, which contributed to the decision to issue an Endangered Silver Alert.
The alert was shared publicly by SLMPD on social media as investigators continue working to determine Nelson’s possible whereabouts. Police are urging residents across St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and the greater St. Louis metro area to remain alert and report any sightings immediately.
Anyone who sees Nelson or believes they may have information about his location is urged to call 911 immediately. Tips can also be directed to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Missing Persons Unit at 314-444-5738.
Authorities emphasize that even small details—such as where he may have been seen walking or resting—could be critical in bringing him home safely.
Residents are encouraged to share the alert within their communities as the search continues.
