The Charles County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) is continuing to search for Richard Wilson Jr., age 86, who has been missing from his Waldorf home for over a month. Mr. Wilson, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, was last seen by family members on the morning of January 25, 2025. He was reported missing at about 6:15 p.m., at which time the CCSO launched an extensive search utilizing helicopters and boats to conduct aerial and waterway searches.
Mr. Wilson is described as 5’6″ tall and weighing 150 pounds. He may be wearing a tan winter coat, blue hat, and blue jeans, similar to a photograph provided by his family. Residents and businesses in the Fort Washington area are asked to check their surroundings and their home or business security cameras for any footage that may show Mr. Wilson. This could provide investigators with a clearer timeline of his movements.
Multiple law enforcement agencies have been assisting, including the Prince George’s County Police, Maryland State Police, Fairfax County Police, Department of Natural Resources Police, and Maryland Transportation Authority Police. In addition, police K9s and registered volunteer canine search teams were utilized.
During the initial days of the search, using cell phone information, Mr. Wilson was believed to be in the Tantallon area of Prince George’s County. Detectives conducted door-to-door canvasses and subsequently recovered surveillance footage showing Mr. Wilson walking on Swann Creek Road in Fort Washington.
Detectives have been in contact with Mr. Wilson’s family earlier this week and have reached out to the news media to raise awareness. Anyone who believes they may have seen Richard Wilson Jr. or has any relevant information is urged to contact Detective Johnson at 301-609-6453 or their local police department.
