83-year-old Marion man missing since last week

MARION — An 83-year-old Marion man has been missing since Monday, Jan. 16, according to a news release from the Marion Police Department.

Theodore “Ted” Wolf is 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs 224 pounds. He has brown eyes and gray hair. He was last seen driving a red 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with the license plate EL 779.

Wolf left his home Jan. 16 without his cellphone, and would have been headed toward Lisbon, via Highway 13 and Highway 30, for an appointment.

He never arrived at his appointment. His car was last spotted on a traffic camera at 2:14 p.m. Jan. 16, in a turn lane off Highway 13, about to head east on Mount Vernon Road.

Police learned Monday that Wolf was involved in a minor vehicle accident around 4 p.m. Jan. 16 in Johnson County. The accident happened on Highway 965 at Amana Road. Law enforcement was not called to the scene. Wolf and the other driver exchanged information, and Wolf left. He was seen heading west on County Road 120 from Highway 965, toward Swisher.

An airplane was used to search the area for Wolf’s car, but nothing was found, the release states.

Police are asking anyone between Marion and Lisbon, or in the surrounding areas, that may have seen Wolf’s car to immediately call the Marion Police Department at (319) 377-1511.

They are also asking anyone who owns an outbuilding or seldom-used property to check the property to see if Wolf may be parked there.
