Jeffrey Kolden, 30, disappeared from Morenci, Arizona, on the evening of June 8, 2002, after an argument with his fiancée. He was last seen driving a blue 1985 Chevrolet C/K 1500 pickup truck; his final confirmed sighting was on Reservation Road about half a mile south of Morenci, in the area known as the Morenci Corals, heading toward the San Francisco River. He had stopped at a Circle K around 10:00 p.m. to buy gasoline and beer and was wearing a white t-shirt with an American flag emblem, dark blue army fatigue pants, black combat boots, and a Diamondbacks baseball cap.

Kolden’s pickup was found submerged in the San Francisco River on June 9, 2002, but authorities indicated drowning was unlikely. A blue ice cooler and evidence of a campfire were found on the riverbank about 90 yards from the vehicle.

Family members say he was excited about becoming a father and the upcoming elk season, and dispute any suggestion he left voluntarily to avoid responsibility. He reportedly was afraid of his fiancée’s ex-husband, and the disappearance occurred on the one-year anniversary of that divorce. The case remains unsolved and suspicious. Is there anyone who remembers seeing Jeffrey, his truck, or activity along Reservation Road and the San Francisco River the night of June 8–9, 2002?
