AZ AZ/Mexico - Keith Stroup, 60, crossing border from Mexico into US w/2 pitbulls, Yuma, 28 Oct 2019

Also, is there any way to find out who made the NAMUS posting? It seems incredibly scarce on basic info that friends or family should know, things that should be present on a standard missing person's report. Also, is there any way to find out if a silver alert was ever issued? It would have the tag number, which could be used to check DMV records and find the vin to see if his car was recovered or changed hands. A ton of cars move back and forth across the border here (break in the USA, towed to Mex for repairs and to get a "fixed" title to sell it back in the USA) so unless a potential buyer runs a carfax or similar, they'd never know they just bought a stolen or salvaged vehicle. And our police department could care less about car crimes, so this happens a lot and is rarely investigated. Just a thought.

Wait -- one post said Ford Bronco, another post said Honda CRV?

Do we know which vehicle?

I looked up court records and warrants in Utah, Arizona, and Clark County, Nevada. These charges are all from 10 years ago, or longer. 2008-2011 was not a good time period for Keith, with charges in 2 states. I found 4 entries on mugshots.com, all for SLC. This was the only one that listed a charge (Assault-Domestic Violence). I don't know why his age isn't correct. His actual DOB is 2/6/59.

The age was also incorrect on this other mugshot: Keith Leslie Stroup Mugshot 7440737 - Keith Leslie Stroup Arrest - Salt Lake County, UT, His booking data, on this site, listing the same State ID number for Keith, says he was 43yo in 2008!

Then, in Arizona:

Public Access Case Lookup (search page, enter first & last name, Feb 1959 for birthdate, and choose all searchable courts)

Only 2 of those were guilty, the rest were dismissed with prejudice. Of the guilty cases, the 2nd case listed was for "ATTEMPTED-AGG ASLT-SERIOUS PHY INJURY," and the 5th case was for speeding.

I couldn't find a Facebook page for Keith, I did find two cousins, CBP and SH, posting about Keith being missing. Search Facebook for "Keith Stroup, in Yuma."

His mother posted to NAMUS. As I understand it, Yuma doesn’t consider Keith to actually be missing. He was known to be involved in illegal activity of some sort. He traveled to Mexico frequently and on this trip I was told he was checking on a car down there that was being worked on. Freida (mom) had a conversation with him where he was supposedly waiting to cross back in to US. Second hand info says his ID was used at the border to re-enter that same day. His mom is on Facebook as Mel freida Stroup. She would appreciate any help available.

The Ford was in Mexico being worked on. He drove the Honda to go and check on the Ford's repair progress.

1) Everyone has phones in Mexico. He could have called. So is the "check on the Ford" and excuse or just a secondary task. Like, I am going to Mexico to blah blah blah cause that is what I do BUT while I am there I am going to check on my car that is being repaired
2) How long as this Ford been in repair and for what. I am at this point trying to determine if this part of the story is true or just some excuse he is using
3) I am not familiar with San Luis, but it look like a very built up busy city, is there anyone here that visits this area? Is it similar to RP, TJ or Juarez, or Nogales? Understanding the common American population use of the city can help us to understand his being there. For me anyways.
4) Do we know anything of Keith's job and/or regular activities in Mexico? I know it was mentioned that he visits frequently, but I do not recall seeing why. What does he do there? Does he stay with friends, the same hotel, in his car? Do we know anything about that?
