I know this is fairly old but his NaMus actually hasn't been taken down. They have his last name misspelled as "Bulter". So if you just basic search for his name you cant find it. However if you search his NaMus number 40130 he is infact still listed as missing. I cant find anything that says he has been located.

Welcome to Websleuths Aftonmegan. You are right, here is the link: The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Too bad they misspelled his name. He looks fairly young in the only photo of him there:

I wonder how recently it was taken?

I did bit of sleuthing on familysearch.org and found a Travis Butler from Ohio who got married in 2005. I can't be completely sure it's the same Travis Butler as the missing person so I won't link the record, but if that is him I'm guessing the above photo is from his wedding. He would have been about 25 in 2005. And I think he looks about 25, not 37 in the photo. I wish we could find a more recent picture. MOO.

I’m not familiar with the area but could these second remains found be Travis?
A man fell to his death while taking pictures on a cliff in Arizona. Authorities discovered other remains while recovering his body - CNN

Different area.

How can I find more info on searches that have been done and obtain more info in general? For example where EXACTLY was his car parked? Where was the last place he was seen? What time was he last seen? What was he doing? Was he moving in any direction? Is there any info on areas he already visited. Etc., etc., etc. I used to be an avid hiker and would like to get back into it... with a new purpose. But if I'm going to do some searching, I'd like to ensure (as much as possible) that I'm not repeating efforts and am actually taking a methodical approach, rather than just going up there and searching blindly.



I live in Flagstaff, AZ, which is only about an hour and a half from there. I guess I'll start by calling the Coconino County Sheriff's Office to see if they have any info they can share.
