Darrel Johnson Part 1: Where the Trail Ends
On June 28, 2024, Darrel Johnson left his home in Phoenix, Arizona, and traveled to Conchas Lake State Park in New Mexico to join a group of over 30 people camping there for a birthday celebration. The group arrived and settled into their campsite. According to those camping with him, Darrel was last seen around 11 PM that night. However, a fellow camper, who was not part of Darrel's group, reported seeing him after midnight. This camper recalled that the individual he believed was Darrel asked to borrow a flashlight and was then seen walking back toward his campsite with it in hand. That was the last sighting of Darrel Johnson. What happened to him after that moment remains a mystery. In the months that followed, Darrel's family launched an intensive search, determined to find any clue that would lead them to him. Despite their relentless efforts, not a single trace of Darrel has been uncovered.
