Niko Infanti, 27, was last seen in Vernon, Arizona, on October 15, 2016. He is described as a white male, about 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet tall, 170 to 180 pounds, with shoulder-length brown hair often worn in a ponytail or man bun, a trimmed mustache and beard, and rectangular eyeglasses. Family conflict preceded his disappearance; after an argument he was to be taken to Winslow the next day to catch a train to Connecticut, but he never arrived at the station and no one has had contact with him since.

His disappearance was reported to the Apache County Sheriff’s Office on December 14, 2016. There are no known witnesses to his departure from Vernon and no evidence he reached Winslow, leaving investigators with very few leads. The central unresolved detail remains why he did not make the planned trip and where he went after October 15, 2016.
