Niblic, who does not normally drive, suffers from dementia and other medical issues.
He is described as a 6-foot, 172-pound white male with gray hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing jeans and a white baseball cap. Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's department at (813) 247-8200.
$10,000 reward offered for tips in farmer's slaying
Confronting the loss of one of their own to violence, the Florida Strawberry Growers Association has put up a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who killed Plant City farmer Bruce White.
The 61-year-old strawberry grower was shot to death when he answered a knock at his front door on Jan. 9 at 6 a.m. White had time to provide a brief description of the attacker before he died, saying he was a white man in need of a shave.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Hillsborough Sheriff's Office at (813) 247-8200 or 1-800-873-8477.
