Police, family desperate to find elderly man

MONTROSE - Police are urgently seeking an elderly man last seen Oct. 20.

Thomas Boylan, 82, possibly has a form of dementia and is on heart medication, Montrose Police Sgt. Jake Suppes said Saturday.

A neighbor was the last known person to have seen Boylan, and told police Boylan got into his 1990 Chevy Suburban at around 10:30 p.m. Oct. 20 and drove away from his residence in the 300 block of South Pythian Street.

He has since missed scheduled medical appointments and no one is answering his cell phone, Suppes said.

Police are concerned Boylan, who has hunted in the past, might have driven into the mountains. Because of his access to a vehicle, the missing man could be anywhere, Suppes said.

An additional concern is that Boylan does not like to drive at night because he does not see well.

"We don't have much. We've been checking the area to see if anyone has information. Call us," Suppes said.

"The family is really concerned; we're concerned, and we're kind of running out of options."

Boylan is white, 5-feet, 10-inches tall, 135 pounds, and wears glasses and suspenders. He has a full head of gray hair and brown eyes.

Boylan Colorado license plate number is 540 PCP.

Anyone with information is asked to call (970) 252-4020 or (970) 252-4021 immediately and ask to speak with an officer.
