Does he have a vehicle to get him around? Where does he work where his coworkers begin to worry about him early. Who saw him last and what had they been doing?

 

[GraceG]

He's gone missing before when LE was looking for him (though that is NOT known as to be why he may be missing at this time) Based on this report from earlier felony arrests he should still be on probation at this time. Chief Judge Patrick Murphy issues arrest warrant for Hunter Hyde If you search the Caffee County Sheriff's FB page with his name there is some interesting information on his history going back to 2018.

I couldn't find anything at Chaffee County, but Pitkin has some interesting tidbits. Plus a search brings up a Mountain Mail newspaper account of an appearance where HH claims that HH is a fiction. Sounds like HH might've had a lot going on.
