Employees heard the man yelling again Tuesday morning and traced the voice to a hole in a back wall. Police said Felyk is believed to have spent three days trapped in the wall after apparently entering through a roof vent for unknown reasons. Investigators said the man had attempted unsuccessfully to pass distress notes from his position between the walls, and one of the notes was scrawled on his probation officer’s business card. One of the notes was dated Nov. 8, indicating he had been in the wall since Saturday. Felyk was taken to Longmont United Hospital. Police said they are looking into possible charges including criminal trespass.
