LAKEWOOD, Colo. — The search for 25-year-old paramedic Eric Pracht continued this week, as nearly 50 volunteers searched for him Wednesday.

Pracht was last seen July 22 after leaving for a walk following a heated discussion with his friends. He left without shoes or his wallet, and didn’t return, reported CBS Denver

Volunteers canvassed the Green Mountain area, handed out fliers with Pracht’s photo and posted others on mailboxes and light poles.

Volunteers searched thick brush areas and steep canyons Wednesday, with K9s and cadaver dogs also involved in locating the missing paramedic.

“I believe he’s somewhere local, I believe he’s somewhere around here,” Pracht’s cousin, Andrew Fitch said. “We’re just asking for the community’s help as well … every little thing helps.”
