A search is underway for 35-year old Alexander Pisch from Discovery Bay, CA, who was last known to be near Colonial Creek Campground on Thursday, October 8, 2020. Mr. Pisch is described as a white male, 6’01” tall and approximately 160 pounds. His white Toyota Corolla was parked along Highway 20 where he had set up an easel for painting. His intended route or destination are currently unknown.

On Saturday, a National Park Service (NPS) employee noticed the vehicle and painting easel in the same location, with no indication that the person was in the area. NPS rangers began investigations on Sunday, with field searchers deployed Monday to search the Colonial Creek campground and Diablo Lake area. The search continues today with 20 personnel in the field.

Information from other hikers and visitors is often very helpful to missing person investigations. If you have information regarding this individual, please contact the tip line at 1-888-653-0009 or nps_isb@nps.gov and click “Submit a Tip”. You don’t have to tell us who you are, but please tell us what you know.
