Joshua William-James Blake was 42 when he was last seen around August 3, 2022, in Golden Valley, Arizona. Family members reported him missing on August 31, and investigators recovered human remains in a shallow grave at South Sacramento Road and West Geronimo Drive on October 26. The remains, buried about three feet deep, were identified as Joshua Blake the next day and were consistent with the timeline of his disappearance.

The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office investigation pointed to two men, Michael Blaine Turner Jr., 31, and Hunter McGuire, 26, as the alleged killers; authorities believe both shot and killed Joshua. Turner had been living at Joshua’s residence and was reportedly in a dispute with him over unpaid rent and possible eviction. Turner was arrested September 1 in a vehicle known to be driven by Joshua on unrelated weapons and drug charges, and on October 28 he was charged with Joshua’s homicide. McGuire was never charged; he later died by suicide after a vehicle pursuit with law enforcement.

If anyone knew Joshua, his last movements, or saw activity around Kingman Trail in early August 2022, please share what is known.
