Authorities ask for Public’s Help Locating Missing Superior man

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Wis. – Authorities in Douglas County are searching for a 40-year-old Superior man who was last seen walking from his residence in the town of Lakeside on Saturday, April 20.

Anthony Puckett, Sr. was reported missing Monday evening at 8:45 p.m.

Puckett is described as 6’1″ weighing 170 pounds with blue eyes and blond hair. He was last seen wearing light blue jeans and a light colored short sleeve t-shirt.

A ground search is underway by members of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, the St. Louis County Rescue Squad, and volunteers from the Lakeside and surrounding communities Fire Departments.

“It’s a heavily wooded area and it’s tough to walk and see through and we figured the more people we could get it would be a lot easier for us because obviously we don’t have the manpower and staffing to deal with a massive ground search,” said Douglas County Sheriff Tom Dalbec.

Anyone with information on Puckett’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office at 715-394-4432 or 911.
