Frederick Gabriel, 56, was last seen on September 18, 2015, after leaving his Lehi home following a disagreement with his girlfriend. He was headed for the Woodenshoe Trail in the Elk Ridge area of San Juan County, Utah, a place he knew well. His vehicle was found abandoned at the trailhead; it had reportedly been parked there for about two weeks before his disappearance was reported.

Gabriel was carrying camping gear described as a black and white dome tent, a green rain fly, and a blue backpack. Extensive searches concentrated in the rugged terrain around the Woodenshoe Trail have turned up no trace, and the case remains unsolved. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office.

Did anyone in the Elk Ridge or Woodenshoe Trail area remember seeing Gabriel or his gear around mid-September 2015?
