Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Searle was last seen in Tucson, Arizona on June 5, 2012. He left his mother's home and was last seen walking in the 500 block of east Elm Street between 11:00 p.m. and midnight. He has never been heard from again. He wasn't carrying his wallet, his phone or any cash or credit cards at the time of his disappearance.
According to Searle's mother, the day he went missing he told her he'd gotten involved with some very bad people the previous night and that they were going to kill him. Just fifteen minutes after he left her home, a strange man arrived at the house asking where Searle was. The man came back the next day, also. This person has never been identified.
It's uncharacteristic of Searle to be out of touch with his family, and his mother believes he may be dead. His case remains unsolved.

A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are not known. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe.
By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends.
Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
