ST. GEORGE —The search for a Hildale man who went missing more than a week ago has ended with a positive result.
Colorado City-Hildale City Police Lt. Mark Gower confirmed Shane Lonnie Speirs, 49, was found by officers in St. George Friday morning.
Speirs who had last been seen by family members on March 13 when he left his home in Hildale, was located in St. George by officers who found him safe and uninjured Gower said.
Spiers was last seen wearing a pink zip-up hoodie and dark-colored pants and had an Australian Shepherd mixed dog with him when he drove away in his gray 2012 Honda Pilot with Utah license plate V589YL, and the vehicle was towing a small enclosed utility trailer. The police department provided photos of the Honda that Speirs was driving, along with a photo of a trailer similar to the one that was connected to the SUV when he drove away.
