Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Uptain was last seen in Casper, Wyoming on April 4, 2010. His family stated he had been having severe personal problems starting about two years before his disappearance: he was unemployed, had run out of money and had been in jail. He was living in a trailer without any electricity or running water.
The last time his family saw him, Uptain had seemed very depressed and agitated. He went to church and, during the service, left to get coffee. He never returned and has never been heard from again.
Uptain wasn't wearing a warm coat at the time of his disappearance, and he didn't take any of his belongings or money with him. He does not have his eyeglasses or identification. It's uncharacteristic of him to be out of touch with his family. His case remains unsolved. Mills, Wyoming police are investigating.

September 2021 updates and sources
A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are not known. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe.
By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends.
Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
