John Hamel Northrup was 55 and living in Denver when he was last heard from on July 25, 2007. He was five feet ten inches, about 153 pounds, with graying hair, brown eyes and a distinctive Gelic band tattoo around his left bicep. During the last confirmed phone call he told a witness he was in New York to re-think his life after a recent criminal conviction.

The Denver Police Department was not notified until September 14, 2007; the case remains open with case number 2007-627286 and John is entered in NamUs as MP13659. There have been no confirmed sightings or communications since that July phone call, and the lead placing him in New York has not produced further information.

Did anyone in New York or Denver remember seeing John around late July 2007 or have information about his travel after that call?
