UPDATE: Celeste was located Wednesday evening, Nov. 20, 2019, police said. A family member said he was OK.

Police were asking for the public’s help in locating a Gloucester County man who went missing Tuesday morning while on his way to a doctor’s appointment in a neighboring county.

Peter Celeste, 78, of Williamstown, left his home at 8:15 a.m. to head to his appointment in Voorhees, but never showed up, according to Monroe Township Police Department.

His last known location was in Camden after 6 p.m., according to police. He had not been located as of Wednesday morning.

He is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall and about 230 pounds.

Family members have grown increasingly worried about the man’s safety, according to social media posts.

A relative posting on Facebook reported that Celeste’s credit card was used at a Philadelphia gas station, but said it was used by someone else.

Monroe Police said they are investigating that transaction, but could not confirm who used the card.

Family members also reported that Celeste was spotted getting gas in Cedarville, Cumberland County, around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday and that his vehicle was spotted an hour later near Mays Landing, around 6:30 p.m. in Mount Ephraim and 8:30 p.m. in Camden.

The credit card was apparently used around 2 a.m. Wednesday.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Monroe Police at 856-728-9800, ext. 524 or the New Jersey State Police Missing Persons Unit at 609-882-2000 ext. 2050.
