Harry August Ballman, 72, went missing from his Deer Park, Washington home on July 6, 2025 after leaving for one of his customary walks. Family last saw him that afternoon at his residence on East Laurel Road; when he was not home the next morning they reported him missing around 11:30 a.m. He lived with dementia and other health conditions and had left without his needed medications.

Harry is a white male, about 5 feet 9 inches and 160 pounds, with blue eyes, white hair and a full white beard. Surveillance footage captured at about 4:10 p.m. on July 6 showed him walking north along Highway 2 near East Deer Park Milan Road in North Spokane County, apparently alone. He had no cell phone and there was no activity on his bank accounts; his family feared he might be trying to travel a long distance, possibly toward Boston. He was often seen wearing Seattle Seahawks apparel.

The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office led the search amid concerns about summer heat and his vulnerability. If anyone saw Harry on or after July 6 near Highway 2/East Deer Park Milan Road or has information about his possible travel, please come forward.
