Vanished Beyond the Campsite: The Quiet Mystery of Blake Slaughter

The Man at the Center of the Case

Blake W. Slaughter was 56 years old when he was reported missing in New Mexico on August 3, 2017. Public missing-person records describe him as a white male with gray hair and green eyes, standing approximately 6 feet to 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing about 175 to 180 pounds. He may have had a mustache, wore eyeglasses with clear lenses and brown metal frames, had a pierced left ear, and was known to wear a large silver bracelet on his right wrist.

The Last Known Setting

The available public information places Blake Slaughter’s last known whereabouts in a national forest area east of McGaffey and southwest of Thoreau, near Cottonwood Canyon, with the case associated with Edgewood, New Mexico. He was camping at the time, and the setting matters because this was not described as an unfamiliar or random stop. Public summaries indicate that Slaughter knew the area and had gone there often, making his disappearance especially troubling because he was not simply a visitor passing through unknown terrain.
