Fugate appeared to walk down toward the Monument entrance and was never seen again. No trace of the ranger was ever found despite extensive searches by the National Park Service, The Cochise County Sheriff’s Department, The Bureau of Land Management, the US Forest Service, The Southern Arizona Search and Rescue Association, Customs, The Border Patrol and Fugate’s many friends.
All that was missing from Fugate’s home were the clothes he was wearing and his National Park Service keys.
Despite some evidence of a crime having been committed nothing has ever been uncovered to explain Fugate’s disappearance. He left behind a wife, Dody, a mother Mrs. Braxton Fugate, two brothers, three sisters, many friends with a vast hole in their lives.
The Cochise County Sheriff's Department has not given up on trying to find the answer to Paul Fugate's disappearance. On August 25, 2010 the Sheriff's Department searched several old wells and other sites for possible bodily remains. They are also asking for any information that may have come out in the public domain. Anyone with information is urged to call (520) 432-9500.

ReplyDeleteI just lost my nearly completed reply and it was very important. I would like anybody out there who can help me make contact to Doty Fugate, any living close family members if Paul Fugate and lastly the retired police officer and friend if Paul Fugate who witnessed the green truck speeding through Wilcox, he had police composite sketches made and I really am interested in seeing those sketches, its extremely important to me. I can be reached at this phone number 575-312-0108 at anytime, anyday, all ways!! Please whoever can get me these people to call me and or me in touch with them it would be very appreciative and the sooner this is handled and I can speak to someone, the better. Hopefully Mrs. Doty Fugate first and foremost and Paul Fugates retired Police officer friend would also be fantastic. I will need them to identify themselves to me for very personal and private reasons. Otherwise I will not talk to them. I am not interested in anything except the specific requests I have come here to get the correct and right answers, pleaae. Thank you if anyone has these contacts directly and they're exact, that will be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone ever contact you?
ReplyDeleteWhat info are they holding back & why are they holding it back? Not doubting you at all just asking. I've watched some of David Paulides videos so I know there are many ppl missing.
ReplyDeleteI really someone finds him. Could he have decided to go off trail, fell and ended up.badly hurt? He could have lost consciousness and succumbed to the elements..Either way he needs to be found. I'm definitely sure hes dead..
