Missing person: 22-year-old man in black puffer jacket
Description
I'm really worried—yesterday around 3:15 pm, my roommate, Liam Collins, vanished after we split up near Union Station in downtown Denver. He last appeared on the 16th Street Mall area, wearing a black puffer jacket, blue jeans, and a gray beanie with a small red logo, plus bright yellow sneakers. He has a compass tattoo on his right forearm and a faint scar above his left eyebrow. His phone was left in the coffee shop by the Union Station entrance, and his backpack with a blue zipper was found abandoned near Civic Center Park. If you see him, please contact me right away; I just want him home safe.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
