Have you seen David Stapp?

Our team at DIFRC was notified that David Stapp did not report to his new work site on 12/26/2025, which is very unlike him. He was last seen on 12/23/2025, in which he completed his last day of service at the DIFRC office. David has been a valued member of our DIFRC team since November 2024, and we are deeply concerned about his well-being and whereabouts. He has not been in contact with family, friends, or coworkers.

He usually wears a blue flannel shirt with blue jeans, navy blue tennis shoes, dark blue jacket with light grey lining, and sometimes wears a black beanie.

We are asking our community for help. If you have seen David or have any information, please call the number listed on the flyer or contact Detective Benet with the Denver Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit at (720) 944-3814.

We care deeply about David and are hoping for his safe return. Please share!

Well, given the way the forecast is looking, we do fully expect Xcel to move forward with de-energization of some of our local power grid, though it probably won't be as broad as shown in the map right now. Boulder and Jefferson Counties are the most likely to see power cut, with most areas east of Interstate 25 possibly in the clear. Xcel is expected to announce their final shutdown plans sometime during the day Tuesday or Wednesday morning at the latest, so stay tuned.

If (when) power is cut, that would probably happen sometime in the late morning Wednesday, with the planned outage ending Wednesday night or Thursday . Remember that these type of shutdowns often last longer than the actual high winds themselves as utility crews work to assess the grid and ensure that any powerlines that were damaged are repaired before power is fully restored. In past events like this, we have seen the planned shutdown last for days beyond the end of the winds in the Foothills west of Boulder, so plan accordingly. The power may be out longer than expected---perhaps much longer.
