The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in locating an endangered missing adult.

Josef Krismanits, DOB 1-4-28, was last seen at his residence at 19475 Sun Air Court in North Fort Myers at approximately 10 a.m. on August 31, 2009. According to his wife, Josef was supposed to get a hair cut at Prime Cut at 905 Pondella Road in North Fort Myers but never showed up there. Josef left his residence in his pearl white 2000 Lincoln SL bearing Florida tag G69-9DY and was last seen wearing a light green polo shirt, khaki shorts, white socks and tennis shoes. Josef is approximately 5 foot 11 inches tall, weighs 170 pounds with slightly graying black hair.

Josef’s wife says he was diagnosed with dementia two months ago. His wife says Josef has never left the residence for several hours without returning or contacting her to let her know his location.

Josef has his wallet with about $40 in currency and a Visa card. That card was used to purchase gas in Punta Gorda at approximately Noon on August 31, 2009 and then again about 6 hours later in Inverness, Florida. The family closed the account at that point. A purchase was attempted in Crescent City, Florida but was denied. Investigators are trying to determine if it was Josef making and attempting to make these purchases. Josef does not have a cell phone with him.
