Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP102266) and 12 other sources
On May 27, 2022, 34-year-old Andrew Rosa was last seen in the area of Moab, Utah. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance began when his vehicle reportedly broke down outside of town. He is said to have started walking into Moab with the intention of finding help, but he has not been seen or heard from by his family since that day. At the time he went missing, Rosa was described as being 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighing approximately 200 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. He has numerous distinct tattoos, including the words "Good times" with a bottle on his upper left chest, a guitar on his left chest, a skull with a knife on his right upper arm, Russian nesting dolls on his right mid-arm, and a grenade on his left forearm, among several others. The Grand County Sheriff's Office is the investigating agency for his missing person case.

Just prior to his disappearance, Andrew Rosa was the subject of a significant law enforcement search for reasons unrelated to him being missing. In May 2022, the Longmont Police Department in Colorado had publicly sought help in locating him, as he was wanted on a nationwide extradition warrant for nine felony charges. These charges included human trafficking, soliciting child prostitution, and sexual assault of a child. Authorities in Douglas County, Colorado, also identified him as a suspect in the sexual assault of a 16-year-old girl whom he allegedly met online. They expressed concern that he may have contacted other underage females through various social media platforms. His last known address was in Boulder, Colorado.

The case of Andrew Rosa is complex, combining the concerns of a missing person with an active warrant for serious crimes. At the time he vanished, he was known to be driving a dark blue 2014 Jeep Compass with Colorado license plate CRY-328. Another report from the Douglas County Sheriff's Office noted he was last seen driving a 2008 silver Subaru station wagon with Colorado license plate OPR948 in late 2022 in southern Utah. The report of his vehicle breaking down near Moab is the last known event before contact was lost. The investigation into his whereabouts remains open, leaving his family with unanswered questions while law enforcement agencies continue to consider him a wanted individual. This dual nature of the case presents a challenging situation for investigators, who must consider both the possibility that he is a person in need of help and a fugitive actively avoiding apprehension.
