Missing person in Florida. Eighty-year-old Anthony Raniere walked out of sight. He hasn’t been seen since the afternoon of July 9, 2025. His last known location was Casa Mora Rehabilitation & Extended Care, located on 59th Street West in Bradenton, Florida.
Since then, silence.
Police have searched known places. They’ve questioned staff, neighbors, and family. Still, there are no leads. Anthony is gone, and time is critical.
What Does Anthony Raniere Look Like?
Anthony stands 5’9”, weighs about 130 pounds, and has striking features. His white hair is usually pulled back into a ponytail. He also frequently wears a cowboy hat, a detail that may help someone remember seeing him.
He walks with confidence. Even at 80, he often keeps to himself but enjoys short strolls. Staff at the care facility reported nothing unusual before his disappearance.
But something changed that day.
Why This Case Matters
Anthony is not just elderly—he’s vulnerable. At 80, he needs regular care. The hot Florida sun, busy roads, and isolation all pose risks. Every hour matters.
He didn’t leave with a phone or ID. He carried no bag. His exit was sudden, quiet, and unnoticed until it was too late. That has made the search much harder.
His family is devastated. His daughter shared: “He’s never done this before. He’s confused sometimes, but he always comes back.”
Now, they wait.
Bradenton Responds Quickly
Bradenton Police moved fast. Officers have searched neighborhoods, trails, and local businesses. Patrols checked bus stops and shelters. They’ve sent photos and alerts across the region. But nothing yet.
Detective Moyett, leading the investigation, says they’re not giving up. “He could be nearby,” she said. “We just need the right eyes to spot him.”
Volunteers have joined the effort. Locals have shared flyers, posted on social media, and walked through nearby parks. Concern spreads by the hour.
Still, the trail is cold.
