Jackson police seek 77-year-old man missing from Hayes Drive

The Jackson Police Department is attempting to locate 77-year-old Earl Levon McGee, who was last seen Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026, about 1:30 p.m. in the 100 block of Hayes Drive, the department said.

McGee is described as 5-foot-1 and 150 pounds. He was last seen wearing jeans, a gray shirt, a black cap and gray shoes, and investigators say only a driver’s license photo is available.

Local police agencies routinely seek public help in missing-persons investigations, especially when the person is elderly. Authorities often classify such cases as urgent because older adults may have health conditions or other vulnerabilities that increase risk.

Anyone with information about McGee’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Jackson Police Department, officials said. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
