Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP56371) and 5 other sources
In the sprawling city of Phoenix, Arizona, a man named Arthur John Levario Sr. vanished, leaving behind a life and a family. The year was 1970, and Arthur, a 41-year-old Caucasian male, was last known to be alive in the city. The exact date of his disappearance is uncertain, with official records often citing January 1, 1970, as the day he was last in contact. At the time of his disappearance, Arthur was described as being between 5'9' and 6'0' tall and weighing between 170 and 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. A scar on his left elbow served as a distinguishing physical feature. His case is a long-standing mystery, a story without an ending that has stretched over decades.

The circumstances surrounding Arthur Levario's disappearance are painfully sparse. He was known to have been in Phoenix, but beyond that, the details fade into the obscurity of time. There is no public information about what he was doing on the day he was last seen, who he was with, or what his state of mind might have been. He was known to occasionally use the aliases Arthur Lebario and Arthur Levarro. The lack of information has made the investigation incredibly challenging for the Phoenix Police Department, which has managed his case over the years. The only known photograph of Arthur dates back to circa 1948, more than two decades before he went missing, making visual identification a significant hurdle.

Decades have passed since Arthur Levario was last heard from, and his case remains unsolved. The official report of his disappearance was not filed until March 29, 2019, nearly half a century after he was last seen. This significant passage of time further complicates any effort to uncover new leads or speak with individuals who may have known him. Despite the years that have turned into decades, his case remains open. The investigation into the disappearance of Arthur John Levario Sr. is a quiet but persistent reminder of a life interrupted, a family left with unanswered questions, and a man who seemingly vanished without a trace from the heart of Arizona.

Last Seen: Jan 1, 1970
