An investigation into the mid-December disappearance of 87-year-old James Mitchell of Arvada continues. The Golden Police is investigating all avenues that might lead to his whereabouts, said Golden Police Capt. Joe Harvey, but there are there are no major revelations in the case. “At this point, Mr. Mitchell is still missing and endangered,” Mitchell Harvey said. “We certainly want to find him. We will continue our active investigation until we have no further leads.” The public is asked to keep Mitchell’s image fresh in mind, and anybody with any information is asked to contact the Golden Police Department. “We will look into every one of those leads,” Harvey said. Mitchell’s disappearance came as a shock to members of Arvada’s American Legion Post 161, of which Mitchell is a 30-year member. SEE MITCHELL, P35
