Michael John Valdez, 38, was last seen on November 22, 2022, after departing West Point, Utah, bound for Arizona. He spoke to his mother from Nogales, Arizona, to arrange renting a U-Haul truck; that call was one of the last times anyone heard from him. Michael is described as having brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing around 205 pounds.

The U-Haul linked to his trip was later found abandoned in Sonora, Mexico, but Michael has not been located and there was no sign of him when the vehicle was recovered. The disappearance is being investigated by the Davis County Sheriff’s Office under case number D22-12568. The sequence of travel across the border and the truck’s recovery in another country are central unresolved elements of the case.

If anyone in Arizona, Sonora, or along the travel route remembers seeing Michael, his U-Haul, or anything unusual around November 22, 2022, please share what is known with the investigators handling the case.
