Woodbury police seek help finding autistic teen

July 12, 2013 at 5:39PM

Woodbury police are seeking the public's help in finding a 19-year-old man they describe as vulnerable who has been missing since Wednesday.

Kyle Konkler left his White Eagle Drive home on foot and never returned.

Police said in a news release Friday that they were concerned he could get himself into "potentially dangerous situations."

In April, Konkler, described then as high functioning on the autism spectrum, was the subject of a search after he left work at the White Bear Lake Police Department, again on foot. He later was found in Minneapolis and returned to his family.

Police said Friday that Konkler often wears a baseball cap. He is 6 feet, 215 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes.

He is approachable, police said. But the public is advised not to speak with him because he might run away. Anyone who sees him or has information is asked to call Woodbury police at 651-439-9381.
