Nantucket Police Searching For 62 Year Old Man

The Nantucket Police Department is searching for a 62-year old man named Colin Leddy.

Nantucket Police Lieutenant Angus MacVicar told the Current Saturday morning that they received an unofficial report Friday morning that Leddy was missing and after an extensive search and gathering of information by officer Jerry Mack, it was determined Leddy has not been seen since February 13th. He said the police received an official report of Leddy missing Friday at approximately 4:30 p.m.

"The difference there being is that now he's entered into a system, which tracks missing people, which is a computer program that goes statewide," MacVicar said. "That entry was made once it was officially reported. We spent a majority of the night shift from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. checking the same spots that officer Mack had checked, as well as other spots that he's been known to frequent and/or maybe not frequent - essentially an exhaustive search that resulted in us being unable to locate him.

"What we're asking because at this point it's not ruled suspicious or not suspicious, it's just a reported missing person, we want to make sure that we get the biggest audience possible to help to see if anyone else has seen him since that last known date of February 13th and if anybody does see him, or has seen him, contact the 1212 number which is in the flyer and/or email detective Schwenk."

Anyone who may have any information on the whereabouts of Leddy is being asked to call the Nantucket Police at 508-228-1212 or email Amanda Schwenk at aschwenk@police.nantucket-ma.gov.
