A Silver Alert was issued Sunday for a 16-year-old Peoria boy with autism who didn’t make it home after work more than a week ago.

Bradley Klose was last seen on April 4 at about 4:15 p.m. after he left his workplace near Lake Pleasant Parkway and Happy Valley Road.

Klose didn’t have his cellphone with him and his family said it was unusual for him to not come home.

He is considered an endangered juvenile since he is on the spectrum.

Klose was wearing a gray or teal shirt, black pants and black tennis shoes when he was last seen.

He is 6-foot tall, weighs 175 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes.

Oh no. Why did a teenager leave work without his belongings? Hopefully he met up with a harmless person and is just hanging out, or he wanted time alone and just didn't want to be tracked. But he even left his wallet behind.

His poor family must be so scared. Rooting for all of them.

 

[Occam's Zebra]

Looks like he is still missing. Walked out of work leaving all his belongings behind?? Where did he go?

Peoria police announced the remains of Bradley Klose were found at the mountain range near 67th Avenue and Happy Valley Road.

No foul play suspected. Though, what could have led Bradley to that mountain range?

 

[TravelingBug]

To provide some context since I'm a local and have hiked a lot in that area, including Deems Hill, which is where he was apparently actually found (see next post):

The intersections given in most articles are Happy Valley Rd & 67th Ave, but articles with better sources are indicating Deems Hill (which actually makes more sense)

For context, Happy Valley Rd is a major road, though it does run along some hills and mountains at various points (a lot more directly off Happy Valley near about 83 Ave - 92nd Ave or so where Sunrise Mountain is). That is a VERY large intersection with major businesses on 3 of the four corners (NE, SE, SW) and residences on the NW corner.

That intersection has grocery stores, drug stores, lots of restaurants, and the main campus to one of the largest and most widely known churches in the greater Phoenix area (CCV)

That intersection would have been a really easy/natural place for Bradley to have gotten to on foot after leaving his workplace (his last known location) as it's under 2 miles and basically a straight shot from Happy Valley Rd & Lake Pleasant Parkway where he had been.

(Cont'd into next post)

Most things now are saying the remains were actually found on the outskirts of Deems Hill, which would be a little further north-east of that intersection.

Witnesses reported finding the remains around 7:15 a.m. Monday on a remote mountain area at the Deem Hills Recreation Area.

https://ktar.com/story/5570106/missing-peoria-teen-human-remains-phoenix/

Deems Hill, where he was found is a very popular hiking area but like all our open space preserves and hiking areas, the areas are large and there are places where it's easy to go off trail or really get yourself into trouble unfortunately.

Another article on KTAR (AZ radio station) from before they were ID'd as Bradley says a little more:

“When officers arrived, they were told by a witness they believed there were human remains on a remote area on a mountain. Several resources were used to locate and direct investigators to the area of the found remains,” Sgt. Phil Krynsky said in a media advisory.

https://ktar.com/story/5602432/human-remains-found-on-phoenix-mountain/

Deems Hill Recreation Area is only a little north east of that intersection most stations are giving

Unfortunately, just about a year ago, we had another Websleuths case that also ended at Deems Hill. Found Deceased - AZ - Jessica Christine Lindstrom, 34, didn’t return from hike, Deem Hills Recreation Area, Phoenix, 4 August 2023

Here's the statement from his family:

"This is a heartbreaking end to the search for Bradley. Our family is in mourning and kindly asks for privacy as we work through this difficult time. Though this is not the outcome we had hoped for, we praise God for answering prayers and shining a light on Bradley. We would like to thank all of our friends, neighbors, the community and the Peoria police Department for not giving up on the search."
