WAUPUN, Wis. – A statewide search is underway for an endangered, missing Waupun man.

Ryan Mitchell, 31, was last seen Saturday morning around 7 a.m. at Waupun Memorial Hospital. He was wearing jeans and a Guns and Roses t-shirt. He is about six feet tall and weighs around 170 pounds. 

His mother, Sue Mitchell tells WKOW-TV, that her son had been asking police for help because he was feeling suicidal.  Authorities allowed him to drive himself to another medical facility in Fond du Lac but he never showed up there Sunday.

Anyone with information should call 911.
