Police seek help in case of missing Monroe man

.
Brock Holmes, 23, of Monroe, is missing.

He disappeared after leaving a party at about midnight Wednesday night. He said was going to walk home, but he never arrived.

The party was at the 24000 block of Florence Acres Road. Holmes’ house is in the 28100 block of Old Owen Road near Sultan, about three to four miles away. He should have made it in two hours or less. But he never arrived.

Police say there is no sign of foul play in the case. Holmes was likely intoxicated when he left and officials are concerned he might have injured himself on his way home.

His mother, Lori Bowling of Monroe, with whom he lives, is worried someone might have hurt Holmes.

Holmes worked at a Chevron on U.S. 2. He had fallen in with a bad crowd several years ago, but had returned to Monroe in May and was putting his life back together, his mother told the Everett Herald.

She and friends have been posting flyers around the neighborhood.

Holmes is described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches tall and 178 pounds. He has red hair and blue eyes.
Anyone with information about this is asked to call the Sheriff’s tip line at 425-388-3845.
