Spokane Police seek help locating missing vulnerable adult

The Spokane Police Department is seeking the public’s help locating missing 65-year-old Kelly, who goes by “KJ.” He was last seen leaving on foot from Sacred Heart Hospital at approximately 1pm today.

KJ has physical disabilities and is dependent on medications which he does not have on him. He has an STA bus pass so he could be anywhere in the region.

KJ is a white male standing approximately 6’0 and weighing approximately 225lbs. He has a long beard and hair around the sides, but is bald on top of his head. KJ was last seen wearing a black or dark blue t-shirt, an unknown color flannel shirt, black jeans, and black shoes. He usually has a black beanie with him, which he often wears, no matter the weather.

Recent photos of KJ are attached.

If you see KJ or have information about his whereabouts, please call Crime Check 509-456-2233 and reference SPD Case #2023-20140828.
