Posted: 10:49 AM- Police in southwest Utah are trying to find an 18-year-old man who was last seen leaving work Monday.

Christopher Robin Coan finished his shift at a Subway restaurant in Enoch and never returned home.

"He appears to be pretty darn responsible," said Enoch police Chief David Browning. "[I] just don't believe he would leave."

Police have speculated Coan might have taken his newly purchased sports-utility vehicle to do some off-road driving. An airplane has conducted a search for him near New Harmony and some of the mining and off-road trails in Iron and Washington counties but to no avail.

"We looked out in the hills and did an aerial view yesterday and we didn't see nothing," said Coan's girlfriend, Sasha Turner. The couple lives together in Enoch.

Browning said there is no indication of foul play and nothing in Coan's background suggests he would have run away.

Turner said she last saw Coan Monday before he went to the Subway. Coan, who graduated in May from Cedar High School, left his wallet at home, she said.

Coan finished work about 8:15 p.m. and was suppose to return home. He recently bought a 1994 four-door Chevrolet S-10 Blazer. It is red with silver trim at the bottom and has a temporary Utah registration tag of 78596.

Coan is described as about 5 feet 5 inches tall and 125 pounds. He has blue eyes and blond hair that is short in front and nears his shoulders in the back.

Anyone with information in the case can contact Enoch police by calling 435-586-1119.
