Anthony Steven Escamilla, a 33-year-old male, was last seen in Chandler, Arizona, on October 9, 2024. His disappearance has prompted his family to use social media to bring awareness to his case. He was last seen on video surveillance at a Love's truck stop store at approximately 4:41 a.m. where he is seen getting a fountain drink. Prior to entering the store, he had arrived with an acquaintance and was left in the parking lot after a disagreement.

The Tempe Police Department is investigating his disappearance and has registered his case under the number 2024-111162.
