Bobby Walton, 50, was last seen in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on September 5, 2016. His disappearance only came to authorities’ attention when his sister contacted the Sedalia Police Department in Missouri in November 2023, reporting that the family’s last known contact with him had been in 2009 while he lived in Sedalia. An investigation turned up a more recent possible location in Santa Fe in September 2016.

Walton is described as a white male with red or auburn hair and green eyes. At the time he was last seen in Santa Fe he was 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighed between 200 and 220 pounds. Records also show a prior missing-person report from Sedalia dated November 1, 2008, that listed him as 6 feet 3 inches tall and about 200 pounds. He was reported to have lived a transient lifestyle and to have spent time in Arizona and California; no phone number for him could be located.

The Sedalia Police Department is the investigating agency. Anyone who may have seen Walton in 2016 or who has information about his movements between 2009 and 2016 is asked to come forward.
