POCATELLO - A local man remains missing and police have few leads to follow, said Pocatello Police Lt. Ken Linn.

Jon Barrett has been missing since early November. Police went to Barrett's home on Nov. 9, and although his light-green Dodge Caravan was gone, his four dogs were in the home.

"There's really nothing new at this point," Linn said. "We follow up on every tip, but there just hasn't been that many."

He said the tips regarding Barrett have never flood into the detective's office, but have been more of a steady trickle.

Barrett is 68 years old, weighs approximately 185 pounds, has brown, shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. He was often seen walking around town with his dogs. Lloyd says his father frequented the McDonald's Restaurant across from the Idaho State University campus on Fifth Avenue and local thrift stores.

Barrett does not have any major medical problems, and has never disappeared before.

Anyone with information about Jon Barrett can call the Pocatello Police Department at 234-6100.
