The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office reports that the body of a deceased adult male was found near Woodlake Trailhead in the area of Eastonville on October 27, following an extensive search for a missing person.

A missing person report was received during the early morning hours of that day at 3:40 a.m. after the individual failed to return home from work.

Eventually, the missing person’s vehicle was found on Spectrum Loop, with the body of the male found about 13 miles east of this location in the area of the Woodlake Trailhead.
