Reported over the scanner that someone was down on 82nd and Wallingford. They were looking through the parking lots and fields at Blanchet prior.
Thanks for the info!
I live right on 82nd near Blanchett and spoke to a cop. he said they were looking for a guy with long hair, khaki shorts and a black shirt. He said if I saw him to call 911. He also directed me to walk the dogs south instead of heading east like I was
Thanks, Pkanaby.
