Aaron Leland Rivers Sr. was 26 when he disappeared from Wet Camp Village on the Gila River Indian Community on May 21, 1994. He and fellow worker Fred Joe Walking Badger left a church job to run an errand, saying they would be back in an hour; neither returned. Aaron was driving a turquoise 1993 Pontiac Grand Am that vanished with them. He was wearing a white t-shirt, gray shorts, white high-top Nike sneakers and a navy blue bandana.

He had multiple distinctive tattoos, including a teardrop under his left eye, a spider on his right hand, barbwire around his right wrist and a Native woman on his left forearm, and one pierced ear. Aaron was a father of two and had a fiancée he planned to marry later that year. About a month after the disappearance the Pontiac was found abandoned and burned in the Gila River area; Walking Badger’s remains were identified by dental records in December 1999, but there has been no sign of Aaron.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs continues to seek information — did anyone in the community see Aaron or the car on May 21, 1994?
