The Lyon County Sheriff's Office is seeking the public's help to find Andrew Sheldon, 65, who went missing this morning from his Fort Churchill Street home in Silver Springs.

Sheldon is 6'0" tall, weighs 300 lbs. with gray hair and blue eyes.

He was last seen wearing a burgundy shirt, black sweatpants, and a blue hooded sweater. Sheldon has family in Fallon, but they have not heard or had contact with him.

He was possibly seen at the Nugget Casino in Silver Springs earlier this evening and appeared disoriented. Deputies attempted to contact him, but he was already gone when they arrived.

Sheldon has extensive medical issues and requires medication.

HagenComment text: Maybe there is more to this story than what is reported, but it seems to me that the businesses that are causing this problem ought to be paying for this, or at least a major portion of it. Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion.Comment publication date: 5/7/26, 10:26 AMComment source: Storey County, Tesla partner to extend I-80 Patrick on-rampComment author: Alan ReederComment text: Great guy, laughed easily, had fun with his students, enjoyed our time together at FHS!Comment publication date: 4/23/26, 10:23 PMComment source: Howard David JacksonComment author: Jack & Nancy CookComment text: Wonderful man.
