Daily Herald; Exhaustive police search fails to turn up missing man
It’s been 18 days since anyone last saw 22-year-old Provo resident Sitha Say, and that has police worried.
On Monday the Provo Police Department issued a missing person alert on Say, whose disappearance was reported Oct. 22 by the man’s mother.
The searches and investigation have so far turned up the following:
Terry Say said Tuesday night his son wasn’t upset about anything the last time he saw him. He said his son has never disappeared before. Investigators found Say’s red car the day he was reported missing in a parking lot at Provo’s Alligator Park at 620 North and 3300 West.
Provo police initiated a two-day exhaustive search Monday and Tuesday of the areas near Alligator Park, the Provo River Trail, the Provo River and the southeastern edge of Utah Lake. Provo police were aided by divers, volunteers and search dogs from the Utah County Sheriff’s Office, state park rangers and Rocky Mountain canine search team.
Though the search failed to turn up Say, Harper said investigators recovered several of his personal belongings, including a picture ID and his cellular phone.
Individuals with information regarding Say’s whereabouts, who have seen him, or have information about his disappearance are asked to contact the Provo Police Department at 852-6210.
