Melissa Manley Crabtree, 51, a musician and river guide from Taos, New Mexico, went missing in February 2020. The last confirmed sighting was February 11, 2020; her brother reported her missing on February 29 after about two weeks without contact, which was out of character for her.

On February 13 her car was found abandoned in a parking lot near the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, a spot known for its height. Searches of the gorge rim and river, including helicopter scans and searches when water levels were low, turned up no sign of her. She had a history of Lyme disease, depression, homelessness at times, and had recently been hospitalized for five days after telling an ex-girlfriend on February 6 she intended to jump. Family and search teams have largely dismissed the idea she jumped as time passed. There was a possible sighting at the Hanuman Temple on February 23 and a friend reported receiving a later call from an unknown number.

Her family has not ruled out that she may have chosen to disappear and could be living off the grid. Does anyone who knew Melissa or saw her in Taos around mid to late February 2020 have information to share?
