Elijah Wade Andrews, 19, an enrolled member of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, was last seen on December 17, 2025, near the 1000 block of East Oak Street in Mesa, Arizona. Family members reported seeing him walking near a residence in that area; he appeared unusually quiet and was not speaking to anyone. There is no publicly documented explanation of where he intended to go, and no confirmed subsequent sighting has been reported.

At the time he disappeared Andrews was described as about 5 feet 5 inches tall, 130 pounds, with brown eyes and thick dark hair long enough for bangs to reach the middle of his forehead.

The Salt River Police Department is listed as the investigating agency and the case appears in NamUs as MP157425. His mother, Ariel Antone, and community members continued to press for information at a Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Awareness Day event in May 2026, displaying photographs and asking anyone with knowledge of his last whereabouts to come forward. Does anyone have information about Elijah’s movements on December 17, 2025, or about where he might have gone after being seen on East Oak Street?
