A Marine out of Yuma was reported missing Friday afternoon after not reporting to duty, according to Imperial County Sheriff’s Office logs.
The Sheriff’s Office was called in about 4 p.m. to help search the area around Senators Wash near Winterhaven for the unnamed Marine who voluntarily left Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, according to the logs. The man, with blond hair, blue eyes, weighing about 150 pounds and 5 feet, 8 inches tall, was last seen midnight Friday and did not report to duty.
It’s possible he was in the Senators Wash cliffs area, and reportedly didn’t have his cell phone or car with him, according to the logs. There were no leads as to where he had gone, but Senators Wash was described as a “usual” hangout spot.
No additional information was available from the Sheriff’s Office, and Marine Corps Air Station Yuma officials didn’t return calls by press time.
