Anthony Sipple was 52 when he disappeared from his Arizona City home in the Silverbell Estates area on February 19, 2015. After taking his children to school that morning he left with only a blue backpack and a bedroll, leaving his wallet and cell phone behind. He was an experienced hiker who often explored the nearby Silverbell and Sawtooth Mountains and may have been wearing a camouflage jacket with BAD ROADS on it, camouflage pants and tan hiking boots. He may also have been carrying a Glock handgun and a hunting knife.

It was unlike him to go out without telling anyone his route or return time, so there was no clear starting point for searches. The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office opened a missing person case but the initial searches turned up no clues. The investigation remains open and the mountains he frequented are where investigators and family have concentrated their efforts.

Does anyone who hiked or lived near the Silverbell or Sawtooth Mountains in February 2015 recall seeing a man matching Anthony’s description?
