OMAK – Police are asking the public’s assistance in finding a missing 47-year-old local man.
     Kelly Small, who was seen Jan. 19, is being sought as a missing person, detective Jeff Koplin said.
     Small is described as 6-1 and 170 pounds.
     His wife, Marla, said he called her around 10 a.m. that day. He was heading to Oroville for a part for the couple’s home. When he did not return around 1 p.m. she started looking for him. She notified police later that evening, Koplin said.
     “Nobody has seen or heard from him since,” Koplin said.
     Koplin said an effort locate him via his cell phone did not work. He said Small was not taking medications and no one at the Oroville business saw him that day.
     Small was last reported driving a 1987 beige or brown Jeep Wagoneer, license 212YKC.
     Anyone with information about Small is asked to contact Koplin at 509-826-0383.
