SEATTLE — The search for a Seattle firefighter who vanished 10 days ago continues.

Q13FOX reported that Joshua Ryan Milton, 36, was reported missing on Dec. 11 after he failed to show up for a scheduled work shift as a paramedic student. He was last seen on Dec. 10.

His car was found on Dec. 12 and police said they’re unwilling to rule out foul play. No evidence of a crime has been found.

“We really want to be able to bring Josh home. That would be the key here – and making sure that his family is made whole,” Detective Patrick Michaud said. “If that can’t be done, we want to absolutely be able to say, ‘this is what happened,’ and bring them some sort of closure in that way.”

Milton joined the Seattle Fire Department in 2012 and had recently joined the paramedic program. His father is a lieutenant with the Seattle Fire Department.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to benefit Milton’s wife and 3-year-old son.
