I read through this whole thing hoping he'd show up and say "hey guys i just got really busy/lost my phone/out with friends for a few days, sorry to cause all this trouble."

This is really sad, so sorry to everyone affected.

Following is the press release from the Mohave County Sheriffs Department dated 7.9.07

Apparently, the best guess is that Mike was going to the Virgin Mountains on the Kingman side, or had been there. There are old mining road down the moutains, which he was either going up or down, and got stuck in the sand. The car was still functional. Getting stuck there, in the Mojave Desert side, is the worst of possible scenarios. There is really nothing, not even a real road for more than 20 miles, and the tempature on that side of the canyon is as extreme as it gets. No way to call anyone either. Poor Mike.
