Avi Keys was 19 when he disappeared from Fairbanks, Alaska, in the second half of May 2004. He grew up in Wasilla, was raised by his father, and was described as a white male with black hair and brown eyes, 5 feet 6 inches and about 140 pounds.

Days before his disappearance, Keys was in a car with three other men — Jason Fisher, David Mason, and Josiah Thurneau — during a methamphetamine binge. On May 13, 2004, Fisher shot and killed Mason. A few days later police tried to stop a car driven by Keys with Fisher a passenger; Mason’s dismembered body was later found in the trunk of that vehicle after it was impounded. Keys was arrested following a high-speed chase and released on bail by his father. After telling his father not to worry if he didn’t return for a few days, Keys vanished and failed to appear for his court dates, prompting a warrant. Authorities later shifted from treating him as a fugitive to considering he may have been a victim of foul play. Fisher was later convicted of second-degree murder for Mason’s death and has denied knowing what happened to Keys.

Does anyone have information about Avi Keys’ whereabouts in May 2004 or contacts who might help explain his disappearance?
