Joey Gale Ledlow was last seen on a Tuesday afternoon, August 22, 2000, after finishing his workday in Phoenix, Arizona. He left his job about 2:30 p.m. and was seen near 24th Street and Roosevelt wearing a t-shirt and blue Levi’s jeans. His wife, Rochelle, reported him missing because she believed he would not have willingly left his young daughter.

About a month later, in September 2000, Joey’s truck was found trashed and abandoned in a desert area in Avondale, about twenty miles west of Phoenix. There was no sign of Joey at that scene. At the time he disappeared he was on parole for a robbery charge, and a warrant for a parole violation was issued after he vanished. An investigator reportedly had a strong suspicion about who might be responsible but could not locate confirming evidence.

The case remains an active missing person investigation with no public resolution. If anyone knew Joey, saw him around 24th Street and Roosevelt on August 22, 2000, or has information about the truck found in Avondale, please come forward.
