Leslie Barlow Sr., a 52-year-old Vietnam veteran and enrolled member of the Navajo Nation, was last seen in Shonto, Arizona, in May 1999. He is described as 5 feet 6 inches, about 170 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Few details exist about the circumstances of his disappearance, and reports that he may have traveled to Phoenix after leaving Shonto have not been substantiated.

No one reported him missing until November 29, 2002, more than three years after he was last seen; that delay has complicated the inquiry and likely limited available leads. The Navajo Police Department’s Kayenta District manages the investigation and his information was entered into the National Crime Information Center, but the trail went cold.

Anyone who knew Leslie, saw him in 1999 or later, or has information about possible travel to Phoenix is asked to come forward.
