Shanti Mountain Sage Motry was 20 when he was last seen working on his car in the front yard of his Hotchkiss, Colorado home. He left behind his wallet, money, passport and driver’s license, which suggests he did not plan to go.

Described as a white male with blond or strawberry blond hair and blue eyes, Motry had a distinctive white spot on his left temple above the ear and one or both ears pierced. Height and weight are reported between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet 1 inch, and 175 to 190 pounds. Reports note he had been struggling with mental health and domestic problems; some accounts say he may have been suicidal and possibly in possession of a rifle.

The Delta County Sheriff’s Office and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation handle the case, which remains open. If anyone knew Shanti, saw him in Hotchkiss that spring or summer of 1993, or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward.
