Update: Officer Elwood says Taylor has been found; his truck was spotted by the sheriff’s office plane on a logging road in the Pe Ell area.

Police are looking for a 67-year-old Napavine man who left home the day before yesterday and hasn’t been seen since.

Napavine Police Department Officer-in-charge Silas Elwood said Michael A. Taylor’s family is worried something might have happened to him or he might possibly be suicidal.

Taylor was last seen at 2 p.m. on Tuesday leaving his home driving a black 1990 Chevrolet Sport pickup, according to Elwood.

Taylor vanished one a year or so ago and Elwood tracked him through his cell phone, but this time Taylor left his cell phone behind, Elwood said.

He was spotted earlier Tuesday at the Lucky Eagle Casino, leaving police to suspect he could be staying at a motel or a casino.

“He might in like the Pe Ell, Doty or Dryad area, the family is from there, so people out there should really be on the lookout,” Elwood said.

Anyone with any information is asked to call Elwood at 360-880-0113 any time of day or night.
