By NIKKI YOUNK, Staff Writer

IRON MOUNTAIN - The Iron Mountain Police Department continues to search for a missing 28-year-old Iron Mountain man who was last seen on Saturday morning at the North Stables Pub.

Eric Matthew Volp was reported missing late Sunday evening by his aunt, said Iron Mountain Police Chief Pete Flaminio.

He said that officers have already searched some specific areas for any trace of Volp.

"We've already done a ground search around the Chapin Pit and Millie Hill area to rule that out," Flaminio reported today.

Although officers are doing everything they can to locate Volp, Flaminio said that he would not be opposed to concerned citizens conducting their own search parties.

"We would definitely welcome any search and any leads," he added.

Although police examined Volp's phone records, they cannot comment on anything that they found.

Flaminio said that Volp lives by himself and that he is insulin dependent.

Volp is a white male with short brown hair, 5 feet 9 inches tall, and 125 pounds. He could possibly be wearing a white Abercrombie & Fitch baseball cap and an off-white Old Navy jacket.

Anyone who was at the North Stables Pub on Friday night to Saturday morning or may have given Volp a ride is urged to contact the Iron Mountain Police Department at 774-1234.
