TOOELE, Utah — After over two weeks, Tooele City Police are still searching for a missing man, with the help of several other law enforcement agencies and search and rescue teams.
Rick Morris, 32, has not been seen since June 25 when he unexpectedly left his home in Tooele and never returned. He left around 2 a.m.
Family members say Rick is diabetic and left home without his insulin. They fear he won’t be able to survive without his medication.
