Joshua William-James Blake, 42, was last seen and heard from around August 3, 2022, at his Golden Valley, Arizona home. His family reported him missing on August 31 after concerns grew. Investigation centered on Blake’s tenant, 31-year-old Michael Blaine Turner Jr., following disputes over unpaid rent and a possible eviction and an earlier incident on June 8, 2022, when Blake had reportedly taken the blame for a shooting committed by Turner and threatened to tell police the truth.

Turner was arrested on September 1, 2022, driving a vehicle known to be Blake’s and found with an illegal firearm and narcotics; he was booked on those charges. Detectives later identified 26-year-old Hunter McGuire as a second suspect and alleged both men shot and killed Blake and buried him on abandoned property near McGuire’s home. Human remains found under a search warrant on October 27, 2022, were positively identified as Blake. Turner was charged with Blake’s murder on October 28, 2022. McGuire died by his own hand during a law enforcement pursuit on October 21, 2022.

Does anyone have information about Blake’s last known movements or the days before he disappeared?
