Alexander Harris, 28, was reported missing after an outing on June 15, 2021, in the remote Deer Creek Fire Agate Mine area near Klondyke, Arizona. He had been geocaching with a friend when a verbal altercation reportedly led to Alexander walking off into the desert and not being seen again. Search and rescue conducted several days of searching; the only personal item recovered was his cell phone and a vacant campsite.

The friend did not report Alexander missing immediately, instead waiting two days before going to Alexander’s father’s apartment and saying he had left Alexander in the desert because of no cell signal. That companion later left after speaking with the father and was subsequently jailed on unrelated charges. Alexander had no fixed address at the time and sometimes lived on the streets. The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office is the investigating agency and the case remains unresolved.

If anyone who knew Alexander or who was in the Deer Creek area on or around June 15, 2021, has information that could help, please share what you know with the sheriff’s office.
