Missing Man in Trinity County

c1 A man is missing in Trinity County. Shannon House was last seen by his brother at approximately 7 p.m. on Sunday night about 17 miles south of the Kettenpom area and north of Covelo. House had been outside while the brother was inside the residence. The brother fell asleep. When he awoke at 4 a.m., House was not there. However, his shoes, vehicle and phone were left behind. His wallet was in the truck, his phone was in the truck charging and his shoes were on the driver’s side floor.

“My family has been searching for him for days,” said his sister Kathrine Lopez Ortiz. “He’s just gone.” According to her, House had seemed a little confused the evening he disappeared. She asks anyone who has seen him to contact the Trinity County Sheriff’s Office at (530) 623-3740 or they can call her at (707) 672-3333.

House was last seen wearing a black shorts, a light green Carhartt shirt and no shoes. He’s about 6 feet tall, 39 years old, weighs about 300 pounds, has brown hair and brown eyes.

UPDATE 11:50 a.m.: Terri Klemetson from KMUD News has an excellent piece on this here.

To all those people who feel the need to make light of this tragic situation please keep in mind this is someone’s SON, BROTHER and FRIEND. If you can’t offer words of encouragement or show compassion or COMMON SENSE! THEN KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

Mr.X I’m sure if you go missing no one would care to look for you…seems you have too much time on your hands maybe take up a hobby and quit being so pathetic. Ignorance is bliss so they say.

I really feel for his family. Trackers are the best option. A good tracker can find him.

I’m his sister please if anyone sees him please contact me as soon as possible. My family and I have been searching for him since Monday and we need help finding him. Shannon is a very caring, great person that loves to help others. He has many family members that care about him and will not give up on looking for him until we find him.

Katherine, Contact the search and rescue team in that county. They probably have trained trackers. If not, Humboldt County’s team does. Contact them before the tracks wear away. The sooner trackers get on the trail, the better. If he’s out there in the woods barefoot, you want to find him soon.

Katherine – – please get in contact with tracker, Fernando Moreira. He might be able to help in this situation as he’s training in tactical tracking. I don’t think the harvest situation will bother him.

They still haven’t found him? Maybe they should look into the person him and his brother are working for. Crazy shit happens a lot up in these hills.

We have contacted Dianna Totten and she is organizing a grid search if you are a land owner in the kettenpom area please search your property. The locals in the area as well as the fire department have been helpful but we need all the help we can get. He is the most loving, caring person I have ever met. Shannon please come home to us

Any updates yet ? There has been helicopters flying up here. The guy Is 300 lbs with no shoes. He isn’t going to be very far from where he went missing. Maybe they need to look into who he’s working for?

[…] When called, a representative of the Sheriff’s Department stated that no one was available to respond to questions about the man who went missing almost a week ago. House was last seen outside the residence where he was staying and disappeared leaving behind his vehicle, wallet, phone and shoes. (See earlier story here.) […]

Hi I live about 20 miles from kettenpom towards Covelo and we have looked on our property and have not seen him. We will keep our eyes out. Our neighbors are also looking too. Pray you find him. Have you thought about bringing in a search dog? That might be super helpful.

Last year my friend’s son went missing and a woman from Davis got in touch with us to offer her search dogs to come help since law enforcement was of no help. She brought several dogs with her and she has helped with many missing people cases and the Polly Klass foundation. Her dogs are trained to pick up scent from the air and can follow your brothers scent even if he were to have gotten in a car. We gave the dogs several articles of clothing, and took them to where our friends car was found. One of the dogs picked up the scent immediately and ran for the river and literally jumped in. We then got a dive team to come out and our poor friend was found. If it wasn’t for the dogs, we probably wouldnt have found our friend for a very long time. He had been missing a week. I can’t stress enough how effective this might be in helping to locate your brother. My heart goes out to your family right now because I know first hand the heartache and worry you must all be feeling. I don’t have the dog lady’s # but I might be able to get it for you.

Please be respectful as family and friends read these posts. Shannon is a loving man and doesn’t deserve people making light of his disappearance. Please continue to share his flyers and look for Shannon. He is loved and missed
