Pettigrew is described as a White man with brown hair and blue eyes, standing at 6 feet tall and weighing 155 pounds.

He was last seen driving the blue 2015 Subaru station wagon and is “believed to be suffering from a mental health condition,” according to an alert shared by the CBI.

Fox affiliate KDVR reported that milepost 6 on the highway — where the vehicle was found — is near the border of Colorado and Wyoming, and at the intersection with Forest Service Road 895, near Pinkham Mountain.

Per the outlet, Pettigrew was last seen wearing plaid shorts, a black T-shirt featuring the letters “TLD,” black slides and a gray baseball hat.

According to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons‘ latest monthly report in May, roughly 25,000 missing persons cases were active in the U.S., and nearly 60,000 were resolved.

The CBI is asking anyone with information surrounding Pettigrew’s location to contact the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO).
