SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Police say a man who settled in Utah after he was driven from New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 has been missing for months.

South Salt Lake police say 60-year-old Curtis Crosby was last seen in October, when he was found camping in a vacant office building even though he had an apartment not far away.

Authorities say Crosby's family got worried when he didn't call over the holidays, and his daughter traveled from New Orleans to search for him in homeless shelters and hospitals last weekend.

He doesn't have any known mental or medical conditions that would explain his absence.

Crosby is described as 5-foot-9 inch, 200-pound black man with brown eyes and a balding or shaved head. Anyone with information about him is asked to call police.
