Hi, Crime Junkies, I'm your host, Ashley Flowers, and I'm writing solo today to bring you a story about a very strange disappearance that took place in the summer of 2024.

A man who was with a big group at a busy campsite goes into his tent to sleep one night, and by morning, he's just gone.

The initial assumptions that maybe he walked away, maybe he just kept going, that's the theory police appear to accept pretty fast.

But over a year and a half later, there's still no reason why.

There's no recovered wallet, no cell phone, no physical trace of where this man went.

Just one clue that might suggest he never left at all.

This is the story of Daryl Bubba Johnson Sr.

It's Saturday, June 29th, 2024, just after noon, when New Mexico State Police Officer Jonathan Gonzalez arrives at Conjas Lake State Park.

It's windy out in the desert where he's meeting a crew of campers who just reported a friend of theirs missing.

Are you the one that called?

Did you call?

He's talking to a small group of campers that appears to include Alejandra Diaz, who goes by Allie, her daughters Vanessa and Roxanne, and Roxanne's husband, George.

It was Roxanne who made the report about their missing friend.
