On November 1, 2024, at approximately 4:26 PM Graham Couty Communications was notified by a third party that a David Wells (43-year-old male from Safford, Graham County) had not been seen by his family for 4 days.

On November 1, 2024, a Deputy spoke to the brother of David Wells who explained he had not seen his brother for 4 days and his brother was not answering his cell phone. David had left a note that he was going to see his father and would be gone for a few days. The brother said this has been the longest David has gone without at least being in contact with him by phone.

On November 1, 2024, Graham County working with the cell phone company showed a last location of the cell phone in the area between Willcox and Benson. The last recorded information was October 30, 2024, at approximately 10:44 PM. Graham County reached out to the Department of Public Safety and Cochise County Sheriff’s Office to see if there had been any reports of David Wells being involved in any type of accident or incident in that area. None were found.

Cochise County Sheriff’s Office was asked to check the area, which was a 2-mile area, based on the information we received from the cell phone company. David Wells was entered as a missing person on November 1, 2024.

On November 3, 2024, a witness reported seeing David Wells at their home on October 31, 2024, at approximately noon. David Wells was speaking to the witness about yard work and returning that weekend. As of November 3, 2024, the witness has not seen David Wells.

On November 4, 2024, Graham County continues to monitor information from the cell phone company which has shown no change. Graham County also reached out to Cochise County with the October 30, information and a possible wider search of the area by air. On November 4, Graham County also was looking into a report David Wells was possibly seen at Walmart in Safford. Graham County will continue to follow any information brought to our attention in an effort to find David Wells.
