Marco Leonard King, 48, disappeared on May 27, 1994, while working as a ranch hand at the Keeylocko Ranch, a historic Black cowboy community miles southwest of Tucson. He lived in the remote Three Points area of Pima County in primitive housing he co-owned with his brother and did not have a vehicle, relying on walking, hitchhiking, or rides to get to work.

King’s personal effects were left behind at the ranch — backpack, hat, sunglasses, a book, cigarettes and clothing — but his rifle was missing. At home his food stamps and family letters remained in the mailbox, including a letter from his daughter in the U.S. Coast Guard that was postmarked after he was last seen. Those abandoned items were out of character for a man described as responsible and in regular contact with his family; his three dogs also depended on him.

A horseback search was organized by family and a missing person report was filed with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department on June 8, 1994. The case remains open and foul play is suspected. Did anyone in the Three Points or Keeylocko Ranch area in 1994 see Marco or notice his rifle after May 27?
