HARUCHIKA Miyagi, 34, aka “Chika”, from American Fork, Utah is missing. His red Mazda was found abandoned and is in YCSO custody.

Sedona AZ (December 8, 2015) – On December 5, 2015, around 5:00 p.m., a resident in the 17000 block of Med Bar Road, off of Orme Road outside Dewey, Arizona, called to report a trespasser. The man, later identified as Miyagi Haruchika, told her he was looking for a place to stay and she declined to allow him to remain on her property. Miyagi sped away in the red Mazda sedan and crashed through a gate before leaving the property. Deputies found the Mazda two hours later in a wash near the Med Bar Road property abandoned and heavily damaged.

Deputies have been in contact with detectives from the American Fork Police Department in Utah where friends reported Miyagi missing on December 3, 2015. They were concerned because he did not show up for work. His family does not know why Miyagi came to Arizona.

HARUCHIKA Miyagi, 34, of Utah is 5’ 08”, 185 pounds, brown eyes and hair, was last seen wearing a blue long sleeve shirt, possibly blue pants, with Van’s brand style shoes.

A search and follow-up with local hospitals has been unsuccessful. Miyagi may have a cell phone with him, but recent checks indicate it is off.

The Sheriff’s Office is seeking any information from the public on Miyagi’s whereabouts. It is possible Miyagi may have been picked up by a driver in the area after the Mazda became disabled. If anyone has seen or had contact with Miyagi, please contact the Sheriff’s Office immediately at 928-771-3260.

Citizens can contact the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office with information or questions at 928-771-3260 or the YCSO website at www.ycsoaz.gov.
