Remembering the Past
3:45 pm. Parking lot surveillance video was reviewed by GPD officers, and Persenaire could
be seen entering his 2010 silver Hyundai Accent and leaving. Persenaire was last been seen
wearing his Wal-Mart vest, tan pants and a blue Tee shirt. GPD issued a BOLO (be on the
look out) for Persenaire and his vehicle. Persenaire had not been seen and had not contacted
any family since his disappearance on the 27th. His wife was working closely with GPD
detectives to assist in the search for her husband.
Levy County Sheriff s Office investigators are working with GPD and family, at-
tempting to piece together the timeline of events that occurred since Persenaire went miss-
ing. LCSO is searching specifically for Persenaire s vehicle.
The vehicle owned by Melvin Persenarie on the day he disappeared has been lo-
cated. The car was spotted by Gainesville Police Department and Alachua County Sheriff s
Office Joint Aviation Unit on an unimproved road south of SR 24, just outside the Town
of Bronson. The vehicle was stuck in deep sand and appeared to have been abandoned by a
single occupant.
Investigators have also been given the preliminary autopsy findings by the 8th Cir-
cuit Medical Examiners Office. Mr. Persenaire did succumb to death by natural causes. No
foul play is suspected.
LCSO wishes to thank the Gainesville Police Department, Alachua County Sher-
iff s Office, Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission officers and the combined Aviation
Unit for all of their assistance in this investigation.
