Aaron Scott Johnson, 34, was last seen in Birchwood, Wisconsin, on October 12, 2020. He had been dropped off the previous evening at a place called Six Mile Corner on the Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation after an argument with his wife. His maroon Dodge Dakota had been left parked on the roadside because of brake problems.

A witness reported seeing a man matching Aaron’s description the next day walking along a remote road in socks, boxer shorts, and a tank top; the witness offered help, which the man declined. Family later confirmed a photograph of that encounter as Aaron, but it was not reported until two months afterward. In December 2020 Aaron’s truck was found and several personal items — clothing, his boots, and identification — were discovered scattered across a wide area. His state of undress raised concern about possible hypothermia-induced disorientation, sometimes called paradoxical undressing. Aaron was also known to be struggling with methamphetamine addiction at the time.

Extensive searches of the surrounding area have not located him. Does anyone who was in the Birchwood or Lac Courte Oreilles area in October 2020 have information that could help explain what happened to Aaron?
