An Air Force helicopter is now among resources being deployed to find a Fort Collins man who suffers from dementia and who went missing this weekend.

Fort Collins police have asked for the public's help in finding George Gosden, 64, who was reported missing from his home, in the 2800 block of Eastborough Drive in Fort Collins. Family members last saw him about 6 p.m. Saturday.

Residents of Fort Collins and surrounding communities can expect to see the low-flying military helicopter which a search is conducted Monday afternoon. Fort Collins Police Services thanked the Airmen of the F.E. Warren Air Base for their assistance in the search.

Gosden is described as a white man with brown hair, who stands 6 feet tall and weighs about 190 pounds. He was last seen wearing a white shirt, gray pajama pants and black shoes. He wears a Medic-Alert bracelet to help in identifying him.

Gosden is in good physical health and frequently enjoys spending long periods of time walking in the yard of his home. For this reason, it's possible he's a significant distance from his home.

Those who are returning home from a weekend away or who haven't recently checked are asked to look around their homes, yard and any outbuildings where Gosden could be present.

Those with information that may help police locate Gosden should contact Fort Collins Police Services at (970) 221-6540. Detective Jim Lenderts is the lead investigator in the case.
