SAGUACHE - The family of a Saguache man missing for more than a week has hired a private investigator.
56-year old Michael Rust was last heard from March 31st. He reportedly told his girlfriend someone had broken into his house and he was following tracks found nearby. A search involving the Saguache County Sheriff's Office and Search and Rescue has turned up no sign of Rust or his red and white Honda motorcycle. Family members have been involved in the search as well.
The Sheriff's office reports Rust's family and friends have hired investigator Jerry Mosier. Mosier has offered a $10,000 reward for credible information regarding Rust's disappearance.
Michael Rust is an avid mountain biker and Colorado Springs native. His brother, Carl, tells NEWSCHANNEL 13 searchers found evidence of possible foul play on Sunday. A vest was found with human blood on it. It's been sent to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation lab in Pueblo for testing.
If you have any information that may help authorities contact the Saguache County Sheriff's Office at (719) 655-2525, or Investigator Jerry Mosier at (719) 221-3462.
