David Allen Cole was last heard from in December 2017, when family received mail postmarked from Humboldt County, Nevada. In that correspondence he said he planned to travel to Arizona. At the time he was 66 years old, described as a white male, 6 feet 1 inch, about 160 pounds, with gray hair and blue eyes.

David had a history of being unhoused and of infrequent contact with family, so the initial silence did not immediately alarm them. Years passed without word, and the family only filed a formal missing person report with the Carson City Sheriff’s Office in July 2024 after receiving more of his mail postmarked from Humboldt County. Authorities believed he might be in central Nevada, or possibly Arizona or Texas. Foul play was not suspected.

Does anyone have information about David’s whereabouts around late 2017 or contacts in central Nevada, Arizona, or Texas who might have seen him?
