“He drove off from home and has not been heard from ever since,” said LCSO Capt. Robbie Toney. “On Monday night, he was seen in Roberta, where he asked some people for directions back to Dublin.” 

Mattie’s Call, which was created by the Georgia General Assembly in 2006, is an emergency alert for missing elderly persons or disabled persons.

“That goes through the GBI,” Toney said. “Hopefully, that will go out Wednesday.” 

Anyone who sees Warren, or his truck, is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at (478) 272-1522 or call 911.
