Joshua Creel was last seen in the 2500 Block of Astrozon Circle in Colorado Springs on Friday.
Creel suffers from a cognitive condition and requires medication.
Creel is a 5’9” tall, 175-pound Indigenous male. He recently shaved his beard and dyed his hair platinum blonde.
He was last seen wearing black quilted pants, a coat and galaxy themed shoes.
