Travis Butler, 37, from Ohio, was last seen in Tusayan, Arizona, on August 1, 2017, while visiting the Grand Canyon. He was reported to have been driving a blue 2017 Nissan Maxima (Ohio plate FUM5324), which was later found abandoned inside Grand Canyon National Park after he failed to check out of his hotel. Butler is described as a white male, 5 feet 7 to 5 feet 8 inches tall, 145 to 150 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes.
The vehicle’s discovery and the hotel no-show triggered searches by the National Park Service and the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office, including efforts on the park’s difficult terrain, but no sign of Butler has been found and the case grew cold. The investigation is listed as open, and few concrete clues have been reported about his last movements.
If anyone was in or near Tusayan or the Grand Canyon on or around August 1, 2017, and saw Butler, his car, or anything unusual, please share what was seen with investigators.
