Law enforcement officials in the country have issued an urgent public call for help in tracking down an elderly resident who has been missing for more than a week. 68-year-old Ulric Carlisle Kirton, a resident of Watts Village in St George, has not been seen or heard from by his family or local authorities since June 11, prompting police to open a missing person investigation and reach out to community members for tips.
Authorities confirmed that Kirton lives with dementia, a cognitive condition that can impair a person’s ability to remember their location, navigate unfamiliar areas, or communicate personal information, putting him at heightened risk of harm while unaccounted for. To help community members identify him quickly, police have released a detailed physical description of the missing man.
Kirton stands approximately 5 feet 4 inches tall, has a slim frame, brown skin, a completely bald head, and short gray hair on his face. When he was last observed by witnesses, he was wearing a black hat, a navy blue long-sleeve shirt, and a pair of black trousers.
Police are urging anyone who has spotted a man matching this description anywhere in the country, whether recently or on the day Kirton went missing, to get in touch with authorities immediately. There are multiple channels for members of the public to submit information: contacts can be made directly to the District ‘B’ Police Station, the 24/7 police emergency line at 211, the anonymous Crime Stoppers tip line at 1-800-TIPS (8477), or any closest local police outpost to the caller’s location. Officials emphasize that even a small piece of information could be critical to bringing Kirton home safely.
