Wayne W. Buckley is missing and the Wasatch County Sheriff's Office is currently looking for help from the public.

WASATCH COUNTY – A Provo man last seen June 7 is still missing and endangered, according to the Wasatch County Sheriff’s Office.

According to Lt. Brian Gardner, information officer with the office, Wayne W. Buckley, 73, was reported missing and possibly camping in the Currant Creek area of Wasatch County on June 12.

According to Gardner, Buckley’s Chevrolet pickup was located on the Co-Op Creek Road at the Sleepy Hollow trailhead in the Strawberry area. Gardner said Buckley is very familiar with the area.

The Wasatch County Sheriff’s Office, Search and Rescue and Life Flight have conducted numerous searches in the area and have not been able to locate him.

While hoping Buckley was picked up by another traveler or is in another camp area, the search-and-rescue operation has moved into a recovery mode, according to Gardner.

“Wayne suffers from emphysema, and it is not likely that he went far on foot,” Gardner said. “It is not known what he was last seen wearing as he went alone, although it appears that all he took with him was his clothing and his .38 caliber revolver.”

The Wasatch County Sheriff’s Office is asking that if anybody has seen Buckley to call the office. So far there have been no leads. It is possible he either walked from where his truck was parked or got a ride from someone else.

It is an ongoing case and investigators are asking for the public’s help. Anybody who may have information regarding Buckley’s whereabouts or anybody who may have seen him is asked to contact the Wasatch County Sheriff’s Office at (435) 654-1411.
