Haruchika Miyagi, 34, was last heard from on December 3, 2015, when he failed to report to work in American Fork, Utah, and posted on Facebook about giving and karma. Also known as Haru or Chika, he was an entrepreneur and Utah Valley University graduate, described as an Asian male of Japanese descent, 5 feet 9 inches, about 180 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a tattoo of his name in Chinese characters on his left arm.

Two days later he was seen around 5:00 PM in a rural area outside Dewey-Humboldt, Arizona, more than 500 miles from home. A homeowner on Med Bar Road refused his request to sleep on the property; Miyagi then returned to his red 2002 Mazda Protege, drove through a closed gate and disappeared into the property. Deputies found the car about a mile away in a wash, front end wedged against a barbed wire fence and heavily damaged, but Miyagi was gone. His phone pinged a nearby tower shortly after he left the residence and was then turned off and never used. Searches, including canine teams four days later, turned up no trace and the scent could not be followed.

Why would Miyagi travel so far from Utah and end up alone in a remote Arizona wash, and who last saw him alive?
