On July 22 Pracht and his fiancé were hosting a party at their apartment. A conversation got heated as the group was talking about police shootings. Pracht said he needed to cool down and walked out of the apartment. He didn't even have shoes on and left his car behind.

Pracht was an emergency medical technician for the South Park Ambulance.

There have been a number of searches for Pracht but they didn't turn up any clues. Wednesday evening's search was expected to be in the more remote areas of Green Mountain.
