71-year-old missing in Four Corners area, may have been traveling to Moab

SAN JUAN COUNTY, Utah (ABC4) — A 71-year-old man has gone missing near the border of Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico. Police say he was supposed to meet with friends in Moab, but he has not been seen since Monday.

According to the Cortez Police Department in Colorado, Liston Bevard, 71, was last seen at the Elks Lodge in Durango, CO, on Monday, July 7. He is roughly 6 feet tall, around 230 pounds, and has gray hair and blue eyes.

Although Bevard was last sighted in Durango, he was last known to be headed to the Cortez Elks Lodge in Cortez, CO. The drive between Durango and Cortez is less than one hour. He is reportedly traveling in his motorhome, which has temporary plates from Arizona.

Bevard was supposed to meet up with friends in Moab, Utah, according to the Cortez Police Department. Friends and family are worried for him because he is on prescribed medications that are necessary for his health.

The San Juan County Sheriff’s Office shared the information from the Cortez Police Department. Law enforcement is asking anyone with information to contact 911 if it is a “timely sighting,” meaning you see him driving or in an emergency state.

If it is not a timely sighting, or you believe you may have seen him previously, any tips and information can be reported to 970-565-8441 and referencing incident #25001430.
