LAS VEGAS — Friends of a North Las Vegas man say they fear the worst after he disappeared without a trace two weeks ago.
Robert Elsworth, 58, was recently laid off from his job that he worked at for many years.
Red Rock Search and Rescue, along with dozens of volunteers, covered three square miles of brush and desert Monday. There have been no signs of Elsworth, but searchers are determined to find him.

“We have substantial manpower of 168 people that are trained to do this, so we can get more feet on the ground, more eyes looking,” said Dave Cummings of Red Rock Search and Rescue. “We started at his house where he was last seen and searching the area which would have been a probable path for him to take.”
Friends said Elsworth left his home on Cascade Pools Avenue in late October.
While Elsworth’s personal items are still at home, a handgun is also missing, friends said. Family and friends say they can’t think of a scenario in which Elsworth could have vanished.
Red Rock Search and Rescue is expected to continue to canvass through the desert in hopes of finding some signs of Elsworth.
Friends say they have filed a missing person’s report with police. Metro was unable to confirm that report has been filed.
Elsworth disappeared from his home near Aliante Parkway and Grand Teton Drive about Oct. 27.
