Spokane Police are requesting the public’s assistance in locating 65-year-old, Esteban D. Riverasoto, last seen in the area of 1800 W Pacific Ave., at approximately 3:00 PM today.  Mr. Riverasoto left the area on foot wearing a camouflaged jacket and an army hat with pins.  Mr. Riverasoto is a Hispanic male, approximately 5’10” tall, between 180-190lbs., with a grey beard. 

Due to his age related cognitive impairment, and the cold weather, he is considered to be vulnerable and in danger.  Below is a picture of Mr. Riverasoto.

Spokane Police are asking for everyone to be watchful and assist us in locating Mr. Riverasoto.  It is imperative that he be located and returned home.  If you see him, please call Crime Check as soon as possible at (509) 456-2233.
