“Donald may be wearing long dark dress pants and dress shoes with a long sleeve shirt, due to layering his clothing he may also be wearing a short sleeve polo style shirt and dress shorts,” Indian River County Sheriff’s officials said in a statement.
Keaton’s disappearance prompted the response of several agencies, including the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Brevard County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Keaton was last seen about 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16, walking away from the Encore Sunshine Travel RV park in the 9400 block of 108th Avenue, east of Interstate 95 and south of County Road 512. The park is less than half-a-mile from Keaton’s residence.
The direction that Keaton traveled was unknown.
Sheriff’s officials issued an alert on Monday notifying the public of Keaton’s disappearance and posted an updated alert on Tuesday. Sheriff Eric Flowers said deputies reviewed surveillance footage in the area that showed Keaton walking away from the RV park.
Flowers said the sheriff’s office had bloodhound teams, drones, helicopters and ATVs searching for Keaton.
Keaton was described as a white man with glasses, a bald head and blue eyes. Keaton is 5-feet 9-inches tall and weighs 150 pounds, sheriff’s officials said.
Anyone with information on Keaton’s whereabouts should dial 911.
