Evan Timothy Hopson, a 58-year-old man known to live a transient lifestyle, was last in contact with his family on December 3, 2020. At the time of his disappearance, he had been living on the streets in the areas of Sheridan, Englewood, and south Denver, Colorado. This followed an argument with his son in November 2020, after which his son moved to Sterling, Colorado, while Evan remained in the Denver metropolitan area.
Despite their separation, Evan and his son maintained contact through text messages until early December of that year. When those communications ceased, concern for his welfare grew.
Hopson was described as a white male, standing 6'3' and weighing between 150 and 185 pounds. He had gray, long hair and a long beard at the time he went missing, with brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a camouflage-print jacket and jeans. Authorities in Sheridan were notified of his disappearance, and a public appeal for information was made in July 2021. He was known to frequent the areas of Federal Boulevard and West 104th Avenue in Federal Heights, as well as South Federal Boulevard and West Oxford Avenue in Sheridan. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance were concerning, given his transient status and the sudden loss of contact with his son.
Regrettably, Evan Timothy Hopson was eventually located deceased. Though the specific date and details of his discovery are not widely publicized, the official status of his case was updated to reflect this outcome. The investigation into his disappearance highlighted the vulnerabilities faced by individuals experiencing homelessness. The case serves as a sad reminder of the challenges in keeping track of and ensuring the safety of transient community members. The lack of available details in his case file underscores the difficulties that can arise when a person without a fixed address goes missing.Last Seen: Dec 3, 2020
