Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP115689) and 2 other sources

In the spring of 2014, concern began to grow for the well-being of 44-year-old Douglas Owen Schliske. He was known to be living a transient lifestyle in the Denver, Colorado, area at the time. The last confirmed contact any of his family had with him was a phone call on or around May 10, 2014. After that conversation, communication ceased, and despite the passage of time, his family has not seen or heard from him again. His disappearance was officially reported to the Denver Police Department later that year, on December 9, 2014.

At the time he went missing, Douglas was described as a white male, standing at approximately 5 feet 7 to 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing around 170 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes. Details regarding the specific circumstances leading up to the last time he was in contact with his family are not widely available to the public. It is known, however, that he was staying in the Denver area, but a more precise last known location has been cited as Wheat Ridge. No specific information has been released about what he was wearing or any personal belongings he may have had with him when he vanished.

The investigation into Douglas Schliske's disappearance has remained open in the years since he was last heard from. His case is listed among the unsolved missing person cases with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Law enforcement has sought information from the public that could lead to answers about what happened to him. Despite these ongoing efforts, there have been no significant breakthroughs reported in the case. The lack of new information has left his family with unanswered questions and a painful sense of uncertainty. The case serves as a somber reminder of the many individuals who remain missing, and the lasting impact their absence has on their loved ones and the wider community.
