Darrell Brian Tapio was 32 when he vanished from Tempe, Arizona, on February 9, 2008. He had moved from Dearborn Heights, Michigan, for work at a golf course and was described as enjoying that job. On the day he disappeared he spoke with his mother and his grandmother, apologizing to his mother and saying he was taking a bus to Glendale to look into some golf swings; family members said he sounded happy.

His disappearance was out of character: he left his job and an uncashed paycheck, and although he had a history of brief absences, he usually stayed in regular contact, sometimes calling as often as every 45 minutes. Family reported he had struggled with depression and alcoholism after his brother died of brain cancer, but that he seemed settled in Arizona before he went missing. Darrell is a white male, brown hair, green eyes, 5 feet 9 inches tall, 175 pounds, with a half-inch scar above his left shin. The Tempe Police Department is investigating.

Does anyone have information about Darrell’s movements in Tempe or Glendale around February 9, 2008?
