Seattle Police are looking for this developmentally disabled male. He was last seen this afternoon at 12:30 pm, riding a blue bicycle on Alki beach.

8:55 PM: He is still missing, according to SPD, which has just tweeted the alert citywide, adding that the missing man’s name is Vincent.

11:14 PM: No updates, but it appears Guardian One revisited West Seattle to help take a look this past half-hour:

4:49 AM: And we also have confirmation from Southwest Precinct Sgt. Neil Larkin that Vincent’s been found “safe and sound.”

Please if anyone sees anything call 911 immediately. I know his family is anxious awaiting news. The bike he is riding belongs to wheel fun rental on Alki and should be marked.

Any update on this? Are any of the king county SAR groups coming out to help look?

Nwmama May 31, 2014 (10:41 pm)

Praying for a safe return. Scary.

Any word? Vincent is from my neighborhood, hope he’s ok. I was out looking earlier, hoping to see him.

onceachef May 31, 2014 (11:01 pm)

He and his mom are my neighbor….very tragic that he’s missing. My prayers that he’s found unharmed.

WSB May 31, 2014 (11:09 pm)

I wish I had something new to report. Nothing since the update that SPD had tweeted info citywide. We just drove through Alki to look for any signs of police/searchers, didn’t see anything but the expected Saturday nightlife. We’ll update as soon as we hear anything; I’m also going to put his photo atop the sidebar since otherwise this story will be moving down the page. – TR

I saw him on beach drive just around the light house. He was at the beach walking towards the water. It was around 1 pm. Hope and pray for his safe return.

Megan May 31, 2014 (11:49 pm)

Diane – Did you provide that information to the police?

seewhatsealionsstart May 31, 2014 (11:54 pm)

Diane, Have you reported your sighting to police?
Keeping Vincent and his family in my thoughts, hope he is home soon.

Kennedy June 1, 2014 (12:38 am)

Diane, please report it. It would be helpful knowing he was around the light house around 1pm. Hopefully we can make a timeline of his moments.

OfficerFriendly June 1, 2014 (1:17 am)

We have been monitoring the blog and did follow up on Diane’s post. Please though if you have any information on Vincent call 911 and let us know. We want to get him home and safe as soon as possible.

SPD has just tweeted that “missing 26-year-old” was found safe in Bothell. I’m pretty sure they mean Vincent – hoping to confirm that before I go off watch in half an hour or so.

has SPD confirmed that the man they found is indeed Vincent?

JanS June 1, 2014 (12:50 pm)

thanks to Officer Friendly for chiming in. The communication (and monitoring of this site) is so appreciated :)

Glad he’s been found safe and sound…was a great day for an adventure, it seems :)

WSB June 1, 2014 (12:58 pm)

I don’t know “Officer Friendly’s” identity but I also appreciate that Sgt. Larkin e-mailed from the precinct to confirm that Vincent had been found – it was about half an hour after SPD media relations tweeted “missing 26-year-old found” and without a link or other details, I didn’t want to assume Vincent is who the tweeter meant, so I sent a followup tweet but got no reply **understandably, since media relations was by then dealing with the Leschi double murder**. I hadn’t intended to pull another all-nighter but really was hoping to hear good news before going off-duty for a while. – TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
