Ryan Steven Jensen, 33, was last seen at his Erda, Utah, home on March 13, 2007, after a phone call with a relative from the residence in the 800 block of East Tanglewood Road. He did not show up for work or for an important appointment on March 14, which family and coworkers say was out of character.

When authorities examined his house they found keys left in the door, the back door open, his car, phone, and horses untouched, and no sign of a struggle or a note. Missing from the property were a pair of binoculars and a .22 caliber handgun. Jensen was facing personal and financial problems and was about to be served with divorce papers; he was also an experienced hiker and trapper, and searches of nearby areas including the Oquirrh Mountains produced no trace.

The circumstances remain unexplained and the case is unsolved. Anyone who knew Ryan or has information about his disappearance is asked to contact the Tooele County Sheriff’s Office.
