Michael-Moening1 FLAGSTAFF — Coconino County Sheriff’s Deputies and Detectives are attempting to locate 44 year old Michael Thomas Moening. Investigators believe that the last time Michael was in contact with his friends or family members was approximately 2 weeks ago. A hiker who was on a dirt road close to the Mountainaire Community reported seeing Mr. Moening’s vehicle abandoned for at least 4 days. Responding Deputies checked Michael’s home located in Mountainaire and it was obvious that he had not been there for quite some time. It is believed Mr. Moening has his two adult Boxer dogs with him. He is a white male, 5’11”, 165 lbs, blue eyes, balding with red/brown hair on the sides.

Anyone with information regarding circumstances leading up to Michael Moening’s disappearance or knowledge of his current whereabouts is asked to call the Coconino County Sherriff’s Office at 928-774-4523 or 1-800-338-7888 or Silent Witness 928-774-6111.
