BOISE, Idaho — The Boise Police Department is asking for the public's help in finding a missing and vulnerable man who was last seen Wednesday morning.
In a Facebook post, Boise police said Chakubuta, who's also known as Buta, was last seen by his caregiver at about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday in the area of Mitchell Street and Fairview Avenue in Boise.
Police say Buta is deaf and mute and does not know ASL and uses his own form of sign language.
