Blake was last known to have been walking in the national forest area that is east of McGaffey and southwest of Thoreau, near Cottonwood Canyon, on Thursday, 08/03/2017. He walked away from a camping party and campsite on foot and never returned. Blake is familiar with the area and commonly retreats to this location.

A search and rescue mission has been conducted with no indications of his location, however due to the extended period of time, his health and safety has now become a concern. (Information retrieved from NamUs.gov)
