NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – Authorities this week have been conducting searches for an 18-year-old Colusa man who went missing on Sunday.
Jose Canchola, 18, was last seen at 12:30 a.m. Sunday leaving a residence in the 6000 block of Myers Road in Williams on foot, the Colusa County Sheriff’s Office reported.
A Facebook post from a relative of Canchola’s said he had been at a party and was last seen running into an orchard.
At 2 a.m. Sunday, a female friend of Canchola’s was reported to have gone to his father’s home to return his telephone, according to the Facebook post.
The Colusa County Sheriff’s Office has been conducting a missing person’s investigation in an effort to locate Canchola, according to Assistant Sheriff Mike Bradwell.
Bradwell told Lake County News that Canchola, a recent high school graduate, has no history of leaving without contacting family.
On Monday, the Colusa County Sheriff’s Office led a large search and rescue operation in the area of Lonestar and Myers roads in Williams, assisted by local fire departments, pilots and the Colusa County Search & Rescue Team, Bradwell said.
A search by vehicle, foot and air was conducted, but Bradwell said they found no sign of Canchola.
Bradwell told Lake County News that authorities are still conducting searches in the immediate area and expanding out from there.
They also are interviewing people. “We’re looking at all angles,” Bradwell said.
“We’re just trying our best. Our thoughts are with the family and friends,” he said, with officials hoping to get a positive resolution.
Canchola is described as a Hispanic male adult, 6 feet tall, 135 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a camouflage hooded sweater.
