Robert S. Gerard was last seen near the intersection of Reynolds Road and Pearl Street, last Monday around 6 pm.

Searches for the missing man started on Tuesday night in the area where Gerard was last seen, but no clues were found that might indicate where the man is, according to the police department.

The Centralia Police Department, Riverside Fire Authority, ARES radio volunteers, and other volunteers have been searching the area in a grid pattern and also used drones to search the riverbanks and ponds. The area where the Chehalis and Skookumchuck rivers meet at Fort Borst park were also searched on foot and with a drone, according to The Daily Chronicle.
