GOLDEN, Colo. — A search is underway to find a missing elderly man, the Golden Police Department.

Mitchell is described as 5-foot-10 and about 180 pounds. He has blue eyes and thinning gray hair.

He was last seen wearing a blue fleece vest, a red plaid short-sleeved shirt and black shoes with Velcro closures.

He suffers from dementia, and does not have identification or a cellphone.
