Mickey James Guidry was 16 when he was last seen after a trip to Anza Borrego State Park. On November 25, 2009, he took his parents’ Jeep Grand Cherokee without permission to camp with friends, and after leaving the campsite on November 27 he was never heard from again. The Jeep was found the next day in a remote part of the desert, eight miles from the nearest paved road, damaged and stuck in the sand with many of Mickey’s personal items inside, including his wallet and clothes.

Searches turned up no trace of Mickey near the vehicle, and authorities initially treated him as a runaway because of past incidents of taking vehicles without permission. His family, however, became increasingly worried that something happened after he left the campsite. In December 2022 hikers reported finding sun-bleached clothing believed to be Mickey’s in the area where the Jeep was abandoned, but no other significant leads have been reported and his whereabouts remain unknown.

Did anyone camp or travel through Anza Borrego around November 26–28, 2009 who has details that might help explain what happened after Mickey left the campsite?
