DENVER — The Colorado Bureau of Investigation issued a Missing Indigenous Person Alert Sunday for a 41-year-old man in Colorado Springs.
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.
If seen, call 911 or the Colorado Springs Police Department at 719-444-7000.
