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 unusual purchases in North Dakota that month before activity resumed in Yakima, suggesting possible travel or distress.
