Last wednesday, me and my father went to Silver
City, NM to retrieve his missing cousin's truck(this would be my second
cousin). He was about to turn 70 and decided to pack up his belongings
from Phoenix and start a new life in Silver City, NM...making Jewelry, doing
upholstery work..etc... he was last seen on July 1st checking out of a
motel in Silver City.
His truck was parked off the road about 2.5 miles
from the AZ/NM border on HWY 78. Grant County police first noticed his
truck on July 4th weekend, and my father havening not heard from our cousin in a
few weeks got worried and called NM police, and they put two and two together
and realized that it was HIS truck parked off the road a ways.. locked... with
his upper front teeth partial sitting on the dashboard.
Search and rescue has searched the area with dogs,
they say up to a mile and a half radius from N33 06.855, W109 00.847 (truck
location).
He has not been found.
We are worried, but yet, fear the worst..... we are
all baffled.. including the police.... this is rather rough terrain and can
hardly see him hiking more than a mile from his truck. alone...
you can contact me Eric aka azjammin if more
info is wanted, or you feel in your heart in mind to search the area
yourselves.
