The Logan County Sheriff’s Office and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation are actively searching for a missing man.
Joseph West’s landlord called 911, concerned about his safety and whereabouts Thursday night.
When police arrived at his trailer around 8:15 that night, they found no one inside, but evidence inside the residence suggested foul play.
“We requested the [Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation] to respond to us to help facilitate an investigation and wrote a search warrant. Currently, we’re executing a search warrant alongside agents of the OSBI and trying to determine what exactly has happened here,” said Logan County Undersheriff Troy Dykes. “The evidence on the scene indicated a struggle had happened, and that is the items that we’re trying to process to determine if we can figure out why somebody is missing from this residence.”
According to Logan County sheriff investigators, West didn’t show up for his plumbing job Wednesday or Thursday. His employer told investigators that is not like him at all.
His landlord told dispatchers it was West’s birthday, and he would never disappear in this type of manner.
She said she didn’t have any problems with him. West has lived in the RV park near Coltrane Road north of Waterloo for the past three years.
KFOR has learned West was wearing an ankle monitor for a crime he committed in Texas. That monitor was found cut off and left inside the trailer.
Because West’s crime was committed in Texas, we do not know the details or if it has anything to do with his disappearance.
The mission to find him safe is a priority for the Logan County Sheriff’s Office.
“Right now, there are missing puzzle pieces that can’t complete a story. So, we have a lot of questions of why this person is not at home,” said Dykes.
Deputies: Foul play suspected in case of missing man
The Logan County Sheriff’s Office and Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation are now searching for a missing man.
West is 65 years old and is listed at 5’9” and 180 pounds.
At approximately 8:13 p.m. deputies responded to a RV park on Coltrane Road just north of Waterloo Road for a welfare check.
Upon arrival, no one was found inside the residence, but as deputies made their way inside it appeared foul play could be involved with the case.
