Search for Missing Fort Bragg Man Begins Again This Morning
Information from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office:
Luther George Jackson, a 77 year-old male, residing on the 31000 block of Little Valley Road, Fort Bragg is missing.
He was last contacted on 05/14/2020. Jackson was known to walk in the wooded areas around his home and was very reclusive. After not returning calls and not being home for charity meal pick ups on two occasions, he was reported missing to the Sheriff’s Office on 05/21/2020.
The Mendocino County Search and Rescue Team (SAR) was activated and a search was scheduled. A total of 18 SAR volunteers and staff searched Jackson’s property and the surrounding area. K-9’s, ATV’s, ground personnel and UAV’s were deployed and searched throughout the day. The area consists of large timbers, dense brush on mild to rugged terrain. We were unable to locate Jackson [yesterday].
A request for mutual aide was sent to surrounding counties for assistance with further search efforts to continue [today], 05/25/2020.
If you have any information on Mr. Jackson’s whereabouts please contact the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Dispatch Center at (707) 463-4086.

I pray that the searcher’s will find Mr. Jackson, and he will be fine. You never know, he may come out on his own.
Last I heard, Luther was going to spend the night in the old Simmons Mansion because he was told it was haunted by a ghost.
“Atta boy, Luther!”
Wouldn’t using a dog to sniff him out be way more efficient?
For sure I think a dog is a great idea. If it is a dense wooded area the dog will do a much better job then someone trying to make their way through all the brush and trees.
If you click on the link for Mendocino Co. Search & Rescue you’ll see a photo with three dogs.
Thanks for the tip Liz.
