William Martin, an 88-year-old man from Redmond, has been missing since September 24, 2024. Martin, who suffers from dementia, left his home without informing his family, raising serious concerns for his safety and well-being. Two days later, on September 26, his vehicle was discovered abandoned in the rugged Colockum area, northeast of Ellensburg. Evidence suggests that he traveled to the remote area on his own and left his car there.
Local authorities, with the support of family and friends, have launched an extensive search operation involving drones, K-9 units, off-road vehicles, and specialized Search and Rescue teams from surrounding counties. The search continues as of October 5, with special attention being directed to hunters and outdoor enthusiasts in the Colockum area. Authorities have requested that those with game cameras review their footage for any potential clues.
William, also known as “Charlie,” is a thin, balding Caucasian man weighing approximately 120 pounds. He was last seen wearing blue trousers, trainers, and a white polo shirt. His family has been actively involved in the search and remains hopeful as the community offers prayers and support.
Anyone with information is urged to contact local authorities immediately, as every detail can aid in bringing William Martin safely home.
