Sander was last seen leaving the Retreat, a bar east of El Dorado, with 24-year-old Israel Mireles, according to Detective Justin Phillips of the El Dorado Police Department.
“We want to talk to him,” said Phillips. “He’s a person of interest.”
Phillips said police have reason to think Sander is in danger. He declined to elaborate.
Mireles is 5 feet 6 and weighs approximately 130 pounds.
Phillips said Mireles is believed to be traveling in a 2007 gray or green Ford Taurus, with Kansas license plate number XUJ 487.
Mireles also is believed to be traveling with a 16-year-old.
Mireles and the 16-year-old have ties to Baxter Springs, Hays, and several locations in Oklahoma and Texas, Phillips said.
Anyone with any information regarding Sander or Mireles should contact the El Dorado Police Department at 316-321-9120 or the Kansas Bureau of Investigation at 800-KS-CRIME.
The Butler County sheriff’s office also is investigating the case.
Oddly enough, another similarly sized Israel Mireles is wanted in San Jose.
Those damn Israelis.
Is there anything that the Jooooooooooooos are not blamed for?
