The Anderson Police Department reportedly said that it was contacted by the Shasta County Veterans Affairs Office, who reported to them that the 59-year-old was nowhere to be found.
Bedwell’s service experience includes serving with the United States Marine Corps and the Navy. The 59-year-old was last heard of when he texted a social worker that he would visit the Stockton area to visit family.

After seeing the Facebook post, several of Bedwell’s neighbors reportedly commented that he had a habit of staying away for a while but had never stayed out this long.
Bedwell’s mental condition means he might be at risk and will need urgent help. Another veteran was recently declared missing after not being seen for a week.
31-year-old Iraq war veteran and mother of six, Brenda Jackson was last seen by her family after her father had dropped her at home.
Her husband and mother declared her to be missing. Reports revealed that a week after she went missing, there was no activity on her phone or credit card.
Police authorities said that they work with two reported sightings of her around Chicago. One of the sightings had a high possibility of being right, although authorities noted that it could also have been a case of the wrong identity.
Authorities are working on confirming the second sighting and are getting surveillance footage so her family can confirm if she was the person seen. Officials have reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring that she is found.
