How You Can Help
We need your help to find Cole. Whether you can volunteer, spread the word, or donate, every bit of assistance brings us closer to bringing him home. Here’s how you can make a difference:
Share Cole’s Story
One of the most effective ways you can help is by spreading awareness. Please share Cole's missing person poster and story on your social media platforms or through email and messaging groups. The more people who see Cole’s face, the better our chances of finding him.
Download Poster:
- Share the poster on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and community groups.
- Use hashtags like #JusticeforColeHosack to help keep his story visible.
Distribute Flyers
If you are local or in a neighboring city, you can help by printing and distributing missing person flyers.
Post them at:
· Community bulletin boards
· Local businesses
· Gas stations
· Parks
· Churches and schools

A Message from Cole’s Family
To everyone who has supported us, prayed for us, and held space for Cole’s return, we are deeply grateful. Words cannot express the heartache and uncertainty we have endured since Cole went missing. He is not just a son, a brother, a friend & a father – he is the light of our lives, the one who brought joy & laughter, and strength to our family.
Cole has always been a protector, a man with a heart so big. His love for his children Bentley & Hendrix, is infinite, and his presence is sorely missed by all who knew him. We remember his laughter, his BIG personality and the way he was always there when we needed him.
As we continue our search for Cole, we find comfort in the outpouring of love and support from so many. Your kind words, your prayers, and your willingness to help us in this unimaginable journey have given us strength during the darkest times. While the pain of not knowing where Cole is weighs heavily on our hearts, we remain hopeful that we will one day have the answers we so desperately seek.
To anyone who has information about Cole’s whereabouts, please know that you hold a piece of our hearts in your hands. We ask that you come forward and help us bring Cole home. No detail is too small. Every effort made to spread awareness and search for answers brings us closer to bringing Cole home.
Thank you for standing with us, for remembering Cole, for sharing his story to help us create awareness and for keeping hope alive. We will never stop searching for him, and we will never stop believing that one day, we will bring him home where he belongs.
With love and gratitude,
Cole’s Family
