Gautsche was last seen in Castle Rock, Colorado on February 2, 2021. At 7:15 p.m., he left the Silver Heights Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation home where he lived in the 4000 block of Home Street, saying he was going out to smoke.

He never returned to the nursing home and has never been heard from again.

According to Gautsche's brother, he tried to escape from his previous lockdown rehabilitation facility multiple times. His brother has had power of attorney over Gautsche since 2020 and stated he would not have allowed Gautsche to move into the Silver Heights Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation home if he had known it was not a lockdown facility.
