In the autumn of 2022, a sense of unease began to settle over the family of Anthony James Hardy-Bear. At 29 years old, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation citizen had been residing in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but had expressed a desire to relocate to Florida. This longing for a change of scenery was communicated to his family shortly before he seemingly vanished. The last time anyone in his family had any contact with him was on October 31, 2022. This final communication came in the form of a troubling text message, in which he stated he would no longer be seeing his girlfriend or their daughter. Following that message, a silence descended, and all attempts to reach him were met with no response, deepening the worry of his loved ones. As days turned into weeks with no word, the concern for Anthony's well-being grew into a formal investigation. The Muscogee Mvskoke Creek Nation Lighthorse Tribal Police Department took the lead in the case, tasked with unraveling the circumstances surrounding his sudden disappearance. Investigators were faced with a profound lack of concrete information. Details regarding what he was wearing at the time he went missing were unknown, and there were no initial indications of his potential whereabouts or the mode of transportation he might have used. The case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) under case number MP98142, a public repository for information that might generate leads from the public. The investigation into Anthony Hardy-Bear's disappearance remains active, a painful and unresolved chapter for his family and community. He is described as a Native American male with black hair and brown eyes, standing at 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing approximately 175 pounds. The ambiguity of his last known communication, coupled with the lack of any subsequent contact, has left investigators to consider all possibilities. The Muscogee Creek Nation Lighthorse Tribal Police Department continues to seek any information that might shed light on what happened to Anthony after he sent that final text message, hoping to one day provide his family with the answers they so desperately need. His case is a somber reminder of the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people, and the enduring pain of families left to wonder about the fate of their loved ones.
