Search Continues for Missing Autistic Man Last Seen Near Salt Lake City Hotel

Authorities and loved ones are urgently searching for 29-year-old August Beckwith, who has been missing since Monday, November 17. He was last seen in the area near the Marriott University Park Hotel in Salt Lake City.

Beckwith is autistic and may be nonverbal. Officials say he requires daily medication and may be unable to care for himself without assistance. His disappearance has raised serious concerns due to his medical history. However, police have clarified that he poses no threat to others.

The University of Utah Police Department is leading the search and urges anyone with information to come forward. Beckwith’s family is also actively involved in spreading awareness and has released a digitally generated image of him, noting that the bearded photo currently circulating is AI-generated.

Anyone who may have seen August or has information on his whereabouts is asked to contact University of Utah Police at 801-585-2677.

🧣 Sunday Soup & Blanket Drive Helping Those in Need

Local neighbors are stepping up in a big way through the Sunday Soup and Bountiful Blanket Drive, supporting individuals experiencing homelessness in Salt Lake City. Organizer Fox Les is collecting donations of used blankets, coats, gloves, and beanies — with a convenient drop-off box located at Dick’s Market on Orchard Drive.

Food donations are also welcome, including canned goods, noodles, beans, and vegetables, which volunteers use to prepare hot soup handed out every Sunday morning.
Those interested in helping cook, donate, or assist with distribution can reach out to Les directly for details.

As temperatures drop, this grassroots effort is a powerful reminder of Bountiful’s caring spirit and the difference we can make together.

🦃 Annie’s Café Serves Up Kindness This Thanksgiving

Annie shared, “We want everyone to feel cared for and celebrated — families, seniors, young adults — anyone who could use a place to belong this holiday.”

No reservation is needed, but guests are encouraged to call 385-327-3737 so the café can prepare plenty for all.

“It would truly mean a lot to share this moment together as a community,” Annie added. “We’re so thankful for the people who make this town feel like family.”
