Darren Van Eaton, 54, disappeared from Phoenix after moving there from Washington state; for years his fate was unknown. In early 2017 an inmate in Washington admitted being present at Van Eaton’s murder in December 2014, prompting Phoenix investigators to search a dirt lot behind a CVS Pharmacy. Remains identified as Van Eaton’s were recovered there in May 2017.

The investigation uncovered a linked financial fraud: a married couple, George and Teniqua Reed, who lived near where the body was found, had been withdrawing Van Eaton’s monthly Social Security benefits for years after his death. All three individuals were arrested after the discovery — Craig Michael Strong was to be extradited to Arizona on homicide-related charges, while Teniqua Reed faced charges of fraud and theft and George Reed was implicated as well.

What information might help fill gaps about Van Eaton’s last known movements in Phoenix or how the fraudulent withdrawals were first noticed?
