Shawn Fowler
Law enforcement officers are asking for the public’s help in finding a missing man after an extensive search for him since Friday has been unsuccessful.
Shawn Fowler, 44, has been missing since 2 p.m. last Wednesday from Perry, about 17 miles northwest of Lawrence, a news release from the city’s police department said. Police said Fowler has a medical condition that can cause him to become disoriented and confused at times.
Fowler is 6 feet tall, weighs 180 pounds, and has long brown hair and a beard, police said.
Volunteers from several area fire departments used SUVs Friday, when Fowler was reported missing, to search for him in Perry and the surrounding rural area, police said. Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies, who also assisted in the search, used a sonar device Saturday to search the Delaware River, which borders Fowler’s home, police said. The Kansas Highway Patrol also conducted searches by air.
On Thursday, emergency workers plan to drag the river, Perry Police Chief Ramon Gonzalez said.
“We’re just waiting for information,” he said.
Any information about Fowler should be reported to Jefferson County emergency officials at (785) 863-2351.

cmon ljw!! Why would you not find a picture for a missing man. Please. Or at least a link to a pic or something. If they had it on TV then you can surely put it in the article. And this weather is deadly, I hope he is safe. Thanks countrygirl for the link

wait a minute! he's been missing since wednesday afternoon, *and they're just getting word into the local media???*it is far too cold for that kinda delay! praying for his family and his safe return! I hope he's holed up in somebody's barn or something!***Volunteers from several area fire departments used SUVs Friday, when Fowler was reported missing, to search for him in Perry and the surrounding rural area,why the point the volunteers used SUV's? unless these were search-equipped SUV's? besides, we all know that SUV's are evil anyway.

I hope they find him safe. No one would ever want to have to worry about a loved one at this time of yr or any time of the yr for that matter! I am sure that the Perry police and the community, will do what ever it takes to find out his where about's! It's a small community, So I am sure if someone know's anything or has any idea's, they have already spoke their minds to the police. My thought's go out to his family. I couldn't image how they feel!

My thoughts are with him and whomever said it before is right. His family has been through enough. I hope he is found safe and warm. I grew up with him and they should of had this in the media sooner with his medical problem.

Hey Defender why don't you chill out. The point was he has been missing since last week. Nobody said anything about 'libral medeeuh". You do nothing but troll the blogs and add nothing but your hate. What have you ever defended in your life? Punk!
