On December 21, 2023, Braonain's phone ceased to send notifications near the rear entrance of the Marley Station Mall located in Maryland, marking the last known activity before his mysterious disappearance. Days later, on January 3, 2024, a trooper from the Arizona Department of Public Safety discovered Braonain's abandoned Hyundai Accent sedan parked on the shoulder of Highway 89A, close to Page, Arizona. The vehicle was located at milepost 570, nestled between House Rock Road and Jacob Lake Inn, and notably lacked a license plate while also having very little fuel remaining in the tank. Alongside the car, Braonain's red Galaxy phone encased in a black OtterBox and a distinctive black and yellow jacket were also reported missing, raising further concerns about his well-being. Authorities suspect that the vehicle had been left there since December 30, 2023, although a witness claims to have seen it parked there as early as December 26, 2023. It is theorized that Braonain may have departed on foot without a clear destination, as his family and friends noted that he exhibited no unusual behavior prior to his disappearance. If anyone possesses information regarding the whereabouts of Braonain McGinnis, they are urged to reach out to the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office at (928) 774-4523 or (800) 338-7888, referencing case number S24-00032. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/locatingthelost/support
