SLO County Sheriff’s Office searching for at-risk Heritage Ranch man

San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office

The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public’s help in finding an at-risk Heritage Ranch man who has been missing for several days.

According to a news release, the Sheriff’s Office received a report from a family member that Clayton Endes, 32, has been missing since March 4. On that day, he last made contact with a family member, and was believed to be having a mental health crisis.

When deputies responded to his Heritage Ranch residence, Endes was not at the location, but his vehicle was. His personal and work phones were also both at the residence, according to the release.

Endes had asked neighbors if they could look after his dog for a couple days while “he went on a walkabout,” according to the Sheriff’s Office.

He was last seen by his neighbors near a backyard in a creek bed; he was wearing all black clothing with a jacket and beanie. Endes is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall, 190 pounds, bald with blue eyes.

According to the release, the Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue team has been searching the area since Monday morning, but has not found him.

The Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in locating him.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 805-781-4550.
