Duluth, Minn. — The Duluth Police Department has asked for the public's help in locating a 72-year-old man who has been missing since Sunday.

Larry James Crabtree was wearing a tan jacket, jeans, and black shoes when he was last seen on Sunday in Duluth. Police describe Crabtree as a white male, 5 feet 7 inches tall, 170 lbs, with blue eyes and gray hair.

Friends and family members have expressed concern that Crabtree, who has schizophrenia, is probably without his medication. He is not considered a danger to others, and has not gone missing before, police said.

Crabtree has lived in downtown Duluth for ten years and frequently spends time at the downtown library.

Police have asked that anyone with information about Crabtree or his whereabouts call 911.
