Violet said Gimlett and his girlfriend were recently displaced by flooding in the Leavenworth area and that Gimlett had also recently lost his job. She said he may be injured or confused but emphasized that he is not considered dangerous.

RBBM. I assume his girlfriend has been accounted for, but I wonder what she has to say.

Does anyone have a middle name for him? I have some public records for someone with his birthyear, general location and first and last name, but it also may not be him,

His Facebook Log into Facebook
He writes in December that he and his girlfriend had been getting help from people and they had keys to an apartment.

I'm so sorry to hear this. He had such a bright smile, and probably lit up a room with it.
