Victoria police are seeking public assistance in finding a “high-risk” missing man who hasn’t been seen since the beginning of April.

Delmer Esau, 47, has a medical condition that requires “immediate treatment,” the police department said in a Wednesday news release.

It’s the second time Victoria police have appealed for help finding Esau, who was also the subject of a missing person’s report on May 17. He was last seen April 3 on Douglas Street near Larch Street.
