Joshua Simiskey, 41, was last confirmed seen on October 7, 2019, in Olympic National Park. A park ranger picked him up after finding him walking shoeless and gave him a ride to the Shadow Mountain area; Joshua had no camping gear, refused further help, and appeared unprepared for conditions. In the days before he vanished he told family he was undertaking a spiritual journey, gave away possessions and told his father by voicemail he had given away his car. His mother deposited $3,000 into his account after he said he wanted to help a woman he had met.

Afterward the woman was found with Joshua’s car, phone, wallet and ID and with letters claiming he was gifting her his belongings. There were unconfirmed sightings of him in nearby Sequim and a report of someone who believed they spoke with him at a Burger King; the person allegedly confirmed identity but said they did not want contact. A hand-drawn map pointed to a burial spot at a Port Angeles encampment; a police excavation found no remains. Joshua was described as white, 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 10 inches, 150 to 190 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

Does anyone in the Port Angeles or Sequim area remember seeing Joshua or recognize the woman who ended up with his belongings?
