Initial coverage:
Police in Armstrong County are asking for the public’s help in finding a missing man.
Cory Dominic Cook, 31, was last seen around 8 a.m. on Thursday, according to the Manor Township Police Department. He was wearing a burgundy hooded sweatshirt and dark jeans.
The last known contact with Cook was through text around 6:50 a.m. Friday. Police do not believe Cook currently has his cellphone with him.
Cook is described as 6 feet, 3 inches tall, weighing between 170 and 190 pounds and having hazel eyes and brown hair.
Cook is reportedly suffering from paranoid delusions and hallucinations, police say. He is considered to be “in danger.”
Cook’s rental car was found abandoned on Rails to Trails near Graff Bridge, police say. It’s unknown which direction he went.
On Saturday, Pennsylvania Search and Rescue began assisting police in search efforts for Cook. Manor Township police said this would cause increased foot traffic and search and rescue dogs by Rails to Trails, between Water Street and the Kittanning Sewage Plant.
Residents are encouraged to avoid the area to allow volunteers and dogs the best possible conditions to conduct their operation.
Anyone with information about Cook’s location is urged to call 911 or (724) 548-5105 and ask for Sgt. Ashley Rensel or Officer Stephen Daub.
