A Duluth man, missing since December 14, 2010, was located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on Monday, January 3, 2011.
Scott Michael Tridgell, age 26, walked into the Presbyterian Hospital in Oklahoma City on January 3, 2011, but was not able to tell hospital staff who he was. Hospital staff notified the University of Oklahoma Police Department, who responded to the hospital to assist with identification.
Through investigation, University Police determined that the man was Tridgell, and that he was a missing person from Duluth. Tridgell’s vehicle was located 20 miles from the hospital. There was no report as to his physical condition.
University police notified the Duluth Police Department of Tridgell’s location. This information was relayed to his parents in Duluth.
Tridgell left his home in Duluth on December 14, 2010, saying he was going to a job interview. He was confirmed to have been in Post, Texas the following day, and was confirmed to have been in Southern California a few days later. The last known contact with Tridgell was on December 19, 2010.
The Duluth Police Department would like to thank everyone who assisted in this case.
