Seattle Police are asking for the public’s help to locate a man named Richard Arneson who sent a friend a "cryptic text" before disappearing earlier this month.

Richard Arneson’s friends and family became concerned about his well-being after he failed to show up for work on February 5th. A friend went to check on the 62-year-old at his West Seattle apartment and found the back door open. Officers checked inside Arneson’s home and didn’t find any sign of him, or any indications of foul play.

If you have information or know of Arneson's whereabouts you are urged to call 911.
