David Ristovski, 32, left his Los Angeles home on March 7, 2011, and was last heard from on March 9 when his white 1996 GMC Safari ran out of gas in a remote part of Cochise County, Arizona, near the New Mexico line. He called his fiancée asking for money; after that contact he appears to have left the vehicle and continued on foot.

Searchers tracked footprints east for about sixteen miles into New Mexico; the trail ended at Steins Pass near Lordsburg close to railroad tracks at milepost 3 on Interstate 10. A possible sighting was reported March 11 near railroad tracks in the Lordsburg area. His phone, wallet, and a water bottle were found about eight miles north of the abandoned vehicle. David was described as between 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 11 inches, 185–200 pounds, brown hair and eyes, with a one-inch scar above his right eye. His family said he had paranoid schizophrenia and was without medication when he left.

If anyone saw David in the Lordsburg or Steins Pass area in March 2011 or has information about his movements after March 9, please share what is known.
