Police said Miljus was evicted from his address in Duquesne in May and no current address was made available. The last transaction on his bank account was back in June and his phone has been shut off, police said. 

Miljus' daughter, who reported her dad missing on Thursday, said he was last seen wearing dark gray sweatpants, white tennis shoes and a "bluish" t-shirt. He's described as 6 foot tall with a medium build, blue eyes and gray hair. 

Police said her daughter also said she believes her dad struggles with addiction and she's worried about his wellbeing. 

Anyone with information about where he may be should call police.
