Body Found Believed To Be That Of Missing Larimer County Man
The Larimer County Sheriff's Office says it has found a body believed that of a missing Glen Haven man.
That's according to a post on the agency's Facebook page.
According to the post, the body was found Monday evening. The search for 53-year-old Jerry Allbright started on Saturday afternoon when his family notified authorities that he had been missing since the day before.
Albright reportedly left his home on foot on Friday, and later texted his family that he was lost in the mountains. The post goes on to say:
""The Coroner will determine his cause and manner of death, and that information will be released at a later time.
We are extremely grateful to all of our partners who dedicated extensive time and resources to find this man. While this isn’t the outcome we hoped for, we take comfort in knowing Jerry will be returned to his family. Please continue to keep them in your thoughts during this time of loss."
