Could you get a description of him? Height, weight, hair, skin color?

Seriously? January 4, 2020 (8:17 am)

Is there any further information available? Hair color, eye color, race (I realize the name is Latin American, but I don’t want to assume he’s Latin American just by a name)? Any places he likes to visit? Health issues? I hope he is found soon – safe and healthy.

Have not heard from any family or friends, just the police announcement.

Could this be the missing person?https://westseattleblog.com/2019/06/missing-have-you-seen-miles/

Same surname/age. Different location/first name. Don’t know why the photo would not have been disseminated if so, though.

I just found a postcard addressed to Mario Sanchez with a High Line address. It was on the sidewalk on 36th Ave SW, between Lander and Stevens. I dropped it in the postbox.

Update!! Mario was found safe. I’m not sure why Spd didn’t give full description. He does have health issues also a photo was provided Not sure why spd said they didn’t have a photo?

Love all the dip—s either assuming WSB withheld information about the missing person or just assuming WSB could make a quick phone call and get that information. The naïveté of ordinary people is scary.

WSB January 4, 2020 (6:30 pm)

We appreciate folks trying to be helpful. But yes, unfortunately, followup information is not as easy to obtain as you might think. Especially on the weekend. Speaking of which, SPD has yet to send an update about Mr. Sanchez possibly no longer being missing, and I can’t update until I hear either from them or directly from a family member/caregiver …

I’d rather be a dip-s for asking for more details than an a-hole for not caring enough to ask. Maybe YOU shouldn’t make assumptions Ms entitled “better than the rest of us ordinary people.”

gosh – I wasn’t assuming info withheld. I applaud, love & appreciate all WSB does for us. I was merely asking if more info could be available to find this man.
