Eli Wallach Bugler, 27, was left by a friend at Soldier’s Pass near Sedona, Arizona on March 12, 2021 to undertake a self-described Vision Quest and did not return. He was 6 feet 1 inch, about 150 pounds, with blond or strawberry-blond hair, brown eyes, a chipped front left tooth, a cluster of moles above his navel, and an illegible name tattoo on his left forearm. When last seen he was thought to be wearing a brown or green jacket, jeans, a long-sleeved shirt of unknown color, and copper wire jewelry.

The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office and volunteers conducted ground and aerial searches of Soldier’s Pass and nearby areas but found no significant clues. There were no signs of foul play reported, no notes, and nothing in his personal life indicating an intent to disappear; his plan had been to come back after the vision quest. The investigation is open but has produced no confirmed leads.

Did anyone visit or hike Soldier’s Pass around March 12, 2021 and notice anything that could help locate Eli?
