I wonder if the groceries made it to his home, or if they were in the vehicle. When did they find his vehicle? Was it parked on a shoulder, or did it look like it had run off the road? Was the vehicle damaged or inoperable? Where are his wallet and keys? Is anything missing at his house? So many questions, so little information.

Oh my, he lives out in the desert, next door to a shooting range, dog kennels and Firearm store...

Mobile man still missing in desert | InMaricopa

Max Schrader, 84, has been missing in the desert since April 3, and volunteers are still searching for him north of Mobile.

On April 9, Schrader’s car was located on a Powerline Road headed from Mobile toward Rainbow Valley. The car was located approximately 15 miles from his home in Mobile.

The vehicle was stuck, so family believes Schrader left on foot. No one is sure which direction he may have traveled.

[...]

He is said to be well acclimated to the desert and did have some water with him.

[...]

About 60 volunteers searched the area on Wednesday but were unable to locate Schrader. A couple areas where an old fire may have been was located and perhaps a place when he may have been lying down in a wash, according to family members.

Thursday morning, 10 to 15 volunteers and dogs again searched the area, four miles north of the Waste Management site. Volunteers are searching in a grid pattern.

They are especially hunting for volunteers who can bring a quad, side-by-side, dirt bike or horses. Volunteers are urged to bring water, wear sunscreen, have your phone charged and dress for brushy desert terrain.
