Detectives with the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office are still looking for a Chandler man who disappeared in March on his way home from Flagstaff.

James Allen Martinson, 37, was last seen at a Pic-N-Run convenience store about five miles south of Flagstaff.

Martinson, who works in Flagstaff during the week, had last talked to his family in a phone call earlier in the month.

The afternoon he was seen at the store, Arizona Department of Public Safety Officers found Martinson’s dark green Nissan Pathfinder on the side of I-17 near the Stoneman Lake exit. Not realizing the vehicle belonged to the missing man, officers tagged the Pathfinder and moved on.

Martinson’s family found the vehicle while looking for him the next day. It still contained personal items, including Martinson’s cell phone and wallet.
A search of the area turned up nothing.

Martinson is 5’6”, 165 pounds with green eyes, brown hair, worn short with a light goatee. He typically wears polo shirts, and is believed to have been wearing a Nautica jacket over a red shirt with a black cap and a backpack when he disappeared.

Detectives are looking for someone who might have had contact with Martinson, and anyone who might have information as to his whereabouts or locations he might frequent.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office at 1-928-771-3260 or Yavapai Silent Witness at 1-800-932-3232.
