Steve William Chandler, a 57-year-old white male, was last confirmed in contact with family between January and March 2020 in Yakima, Washington, though his disappearance was not reported until January 2021. His bank account showed no activity since November 2019, with the last purchases occurring in North Dakota and Yakima—a pattern inconsistent with his normal behavior. Despite attending a family wedding in July 2020, the circumstances surrounding his whereabouts and welfare remain unclear, making continued investigation and public awareness critical.
