Missing Person

Written by Glenn Henderson

We received a callout from call captain Gwenda Yates for a search in the Sage area for a mid-20-year-old that may be suicidal. We responded at 2 PM. We were led by deputies to a remote area where a bloodhound had lost the subjects scent.

The three of us split up and searched an area of approximately half a mile area. We picked up sign of someone walking up and down a steep brushy canyon. The print looked like a cowboy boot and followed it to the paved road where it disappeared. We returned to the deputies and asked to go to the house to see if we could get a definite print of our subject.

The deputies led us to the house. Our subject’s girlfriend and father came out and said that he had just showed up and was in a barn nearby. The deputy interviewed him at length and the subject wanted to be taken in for a psych evaluation which the deputy did. And the prints we found were from the girlfriend. She had been out looking for him earlier.
