On May 29th, Chervenka's wallet was found on a hiking trail or dirt road leading into the Four Peaks Wilderness area of Tonto National Forest, about an hour north of Phoenix. His vehicle and keys were later located abandoned on Cline Trailhead on June 9th, but he was nowhere to be found. Although Chervenka was a daytime hiker, he did not have his hiking gear with him.
