The Disappearance of Wesley Allen
On July 15, 2025, Wesley Allen was last seen leaving his home in Edmond, Oklahoma to go fishing. It is unknown where he went from there.
He was last seen driving his blue 2016 Toyota Tundra truck with a black camper shell and Oklahoma tag PQE799.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol has issued a Silver Alert for Allen, as he may be in need of important medication.
Investigation
Allen left home with his fly fishing poles, and his search history shows a map of Gila National Forest, a location 12 hours away.
According to his family, he had been going to Gila National Forest since he was a kid, and they believe that is where he was heading.
Allen made it past the turnpike on I-40 west and his debit card was used to get gas, however that is where the trail seemingly ends. His phone goes straight to voicemail.
