Details of Disappearance

Sutton was last seen in Colorado Springs, Colorado on November 6, 2014. He had lived with his mother, but left home after they had an argument about his drinking; Sutton was drinking heavily.

On the day of his disappearance, his stepfather dropped him and a friend off at a motel off south Nevada Avenue. It was either the Sun Springs Motel or the Chateau Motel; the two motels are very close to each other. Sutton didn't have a wallet or identification with him. He told his stepfather he would call tomorrow.

Later that day, he called his mother. He said he had made some new friends but was slightly afraid for his safety. He sounded drunk and his mother told him to call back in the morning because he wasn't making any sense. He has never been heard from again.

It's uncharacteristic of Sutton to go this long without getting in touch with his mother, and he had applied for federal benefits which he hasn't used since he was last seen. Because of these things, he is considered missing under suspicious circumstances. His case remains unsolved.
