Legendary Bay Area radio broadcaster Ray Taliaferro, reported missing in Kentucky, still hadn’t been located as of Sunday afternoon.

The Massac County Sheriff’s Department in southern Illinois, which is handling the case, told this news organization that Taliaferro was last seen Nov. 10 in nearby Paducah, Kentucky. The Paducah City Police Department also confirmed that Taliaferro is still considered a missing person.

Taliaferro was visiting the area when he went missing, though he still maintains a residence in San Francisco, a family spokesperson said.

According to the missing-person flier from Paducah police, “Ray was last seen talking with the manager of the Mellow Mushroom pizza restaurant in Paducah. He may be experiencing disorientation and signs of dementia.”

Taliaferro’s son, Raphael Taliaferro Jr., of Stockton, said Sunday that he spoke with law enforcement about his father’s disappearance last week, and has not heard any updates since then.

“Praying that the great Ray Taliaferro is found okay,” tweeted former KGO colleague Brian Copeland, who added that “Ray has been battling dementia for a while so he may not be certain where he is.”

San Francisco native Taliaferro, 79, became the nation’s first black talk-show host for a major market radio station (KNEW AM 910) in 1976. According to Bay Area News Group archives, his long résumé also includes heading the city’s chapter of the NAACP and being named the city’s first black member of the arts commission.

Owens added: “What his listeners don’t know is he is a total gentleman, a patron of the arts, an unbelievably giving person.”

Taliaferro was inducted in the National Association of Black Journalists Hall of Fame in 2011.
