When I saw the details, my mind went to drugs or other criminal activity. zjis most recent release from incarceration was in 2024. If you look at the details in the earlier criminal cases in Maricopsa County he was co defendents with several others, so he was not commiting all his crime alone at least, in his earlier cases which raises questions for me. Who was he out with when reported missing? Could they be involved? Does his family know his current status with the court system? Would they withold his location to avoid his going back to jail? Hard questions, especially for loved ones who may be unaware of the backstory, but they are questions that I'm sure LE is raising.

He is currently an official Abscondee from Release. He was released from jail in July 2024, and has not complied with the terms of his supervised probation. He was listed as an abscondee in November. State Department of Corrections Website is (and a screenshot of his info is attached) Inmate Data Search | Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation & Reentry

Another item to note: His last reported known movement (as reported by the courts/probation system) was Nov 11, 2024 which is almost 3 weeks after his family member said they say him "walk away in the forest".

Cases from both the Maricopa Court records as well as the Arizona Judicial System. Docket: Criminal Court Case Information

I left out vehicular charges of which there were a couple non alcohol related. Also note, due to the number of them I might have missed one and there is another Lawrence Tenes in the system but different middle name that may show up in a search as the AZ database doesn't allow you to input a middle name in the query boxes

Lawrence David Tenes was doing well before he went missing. Yes he has a sketchy past but do not let that blind you from the fact that he's still a loving person, father, grandfather brother, uncle and friend. He would give someone the shirt off his back and is known for helping people when they were in need..

Im here to clear a few things up.
My dad was under the supervision of a probation officer, he was attending his classes and dropping u/a's when assigned.
He is not on the run nor did he have any reason to do so.
Yes there will be multiple people who come up with the name Lawrence Tenes but have different Middle names. It's a family name that's been passed down generations.
 

David was reported missing three days after a family member last saw him in the forest. NAMUS case created today.

This is his FB: David Tenes

Shows neck tattoo "5150" -- also, ppl refer to him in posts there as "50". His daughter has posted the police flyer and birthday wishes for him in November.

I did note that there were others listed but with different middle names as that can "muddy the waters" in a missing persons case sometimes unintentionally so I tried to ensure only cases with his full name and date of birth were referenced. I'm sorry about your Dad and I do hope he is located and is safe. I've attached a screenshot of the Dept of Corrections page that shows him as listed as absconded. Perhaps you can contact them to have his probation officer recify this, if not current. It could be that he's considered as such BECAUSE he is missing, not missing BECAUSE of absconding.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I hope he’s found soon & in good health!

Thank you, I just wanted that to be clear. Yes it shows he has a warrant and that was issued after he went missing. I'm assuming until they know what happened to him the warrant will remain active.
No, no one is hiding him out somewhere to avoid him going back to prison.
Something has happened to him.
Weather it was a careless shooter in the desert or maybe a careless driver off roading. Animal attack, something! Someone knows something! This area he went missing in is full all the time of people offroading, theres areas people shoot, theres areas people live in tents, hikers.. it's a busy area. I pray that the truth comes out.
