BROOMFIELD, Colo. — Colorado Bureau of Investigation officials on Tuesday issued an Endangered Missing Alert for a Broomfield man reported missing earlier this month.
Paul Aragon, 34, was reported missing by family on May 8 after last speaking to him on April 28 or 29. According to the Broomfield Police Department, Aragon was living in his truck at the time of his disappearance. He is from Aurora and is believed to have been working in Lakewood or Littleton.
While on routine patrol, a Broomfield police officer spotted Paul's truck around 3:15 a.m. on May 2 in a construction area off Edgeview Drive near the WoodSpring Suites hotel. Broomfield PD said the truck's engine was still running, the lights were on, and a dog was inside.
Officers searched the area on foot and using a drone, but "found nothing suspicious." Police said Aragon was not a guest at the hotel and did not answer when officers tried to call his cellphone.
Just after midnight on May 3, a second officer stopped to check on the vehicle and the dog. Police said the truck was still there, and the dog was still inside.
The dog was removed from the truck and taken to the shelter. Officers again searched the area but did not find anything.
According to Broomfield police, Aragon's mother was notified that her son's dog had been found and taken to the shelter. Five days later, the mother contacted Broomfield PD and reported her son missing. She told police that she had not heard from him since April 28 or 29 and he had "no showed" for work on May 5.
Investigators have not determined why Aragon's truck was in Broomfield.
