Police are still searching for a 77-year-old Centre County man who was last seen Monday, and they reiterated in a news release Saturday they’re asking the public for help.

Leon Bowman, 77, of Howard, was last seen between noon and 4 p.m. Monday on Howard Divide Road near his mailbox. State police are asking residences along Howard Divide Road and Marsh Creek Road “to look in their outbuildings, garages and sheds for Bowman.”

“PSP Rockview are asking neighboring landowners of Bowman to traverse through their property for any signs,” police added in the news release.

Bowman is believed to be “at special risk of harm or injury, or may be confused,” according to the Missing Endangered Person Advisory that was issued Tuesday. Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or state police at Rockview at 814-355-7545.

Bowman is described as a 6-foot-1 man who weighs between 110 and 120 pounds. He has brown eyes and is balding with a white beard.
