Jan 4, 2016 - 9:45am

On January 1, 2016, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office began searching for a missing person, 23 year old Elijah Joe Sharp.  He is 5'11" and weighs approximately 150lbs and has brown hair and brown eyes.  Elijah was last seen by his parents around 9:30 PM, on December 31, 2015, when he left his home after an argument.

At around 12:30 PM, deputies were dispatched to the top of the Incline, approximately 200 yards from the trail where hikers reported finding a deceased male.

The Coroner's Office has identified the male as Elijah Joe Sharp, DOB: 09/01/92.  The cause and manner of death will be released at a later date pending toxicology results.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the Sharp family.
