Howard Lamar Harris was 39 when he disappeared from his Payson, Arizona home on June 9, 2000. His wife left for a short errand and returned about an hour later to find the house empty. Most of Howard’s personal belongings remained at the residence, but his wallet and Arizona driver’s license were missing. He did not have access to any vehicles at the time.

Howard is described as 5 feet 11 inches tall, about 160 pounds, with graying hair and blue eyes. Distinctive scars on his back and burns on his torso from a past vehicle fire were noted as identifying marks. The Gila County Sheriff’s Office handled the investigation, which has since gone cold with few public leads and no clear explanation for his abrupt disappearance.

Did anyone in Payson around June 9, 2000, see Howard or notice someone matching his description leaving the area?
