The Search for George Aldrich


Local law enforcement is calling on residents today to help them search "targeted areas" in the community for signs of George Aldrich, of Snowmass Village. The 28-year-old went missing November 27th. He was last seen getting off a RFTA bus on the outskirts of Aspen.

The striking part of this search, to me, is the Facebook page that has developed from it. There's a fan page, of which 5,429 people are signed onto (as of Thursday morning), called, "Find George Aldrich." Comments written on the Wall include this one from Elaine: "We are praying so hard that this will be the day they find George and he will be okay!" and this one from Kristen: "The longer he goes missing, the more devastating it becomes. C'mon George... Peace & Love to your family!"

George was last seen exiting bus 555 at the Truscott stop in Aspen. He spoke briefly to a woman who said he realized he was at the wrong stop when the shuttle left. He asked her if she could drive him to the Village Commons where he lived. She told him she did not have a car. She assumed he would wait for the next shuttle bus or attempt to hitch hike home. That was the last time anyone saw Goerge. Anyone with information should call the Aspen police at 970-920-5310.
