Russell Edward Mason, 42, was last seen by family at his Wilcox, Pennsylvania home on November 8, 2021. His vehicle was found that same day abandoned at a shopping mall in Cranberry Township, which is a significant distance from his residence. Family reported him missing to the Pennsylvania State Police on November 23, 2021.

On November 29, 2021, Russell sent a Facebook message to a friend claiming to be in Utah and providing GPS coordinates. Deputies from the Emery County Sheriff’s Department found an abandoned campsite showing signs of recent use at the given location, but there was no sign of Russell. He is known to have ties to Ohio and Utah and to use the alias Christopher August. He also has an active arrest warrant for failing to register as a sex offender.

Russell is described as 5 feet 10 inches, blue/hazel eyes, brown balding hair, with numerous tattoos including a scorpion, an 8-ball with wings, a Punisher skull with horns on his left arm, and a pig/wart hog on his right arm. If anyone has information about his movements after November 29, 2021, please come forward.
