Kohler was last seen on March 12 at about 8 p.m., when he reportedly walked away from the campfire after telling members of his bicycle tour group that he was tired and was headed back to his tent. But when he didn't show up the next morning, his fellow cyclists checked his tent, finding his bike and camping gear, but no sign of him.
What's even more unsettling is it looked as though his bed hadn't been slept in, police told The Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Kohler was part of a larger cycling group exploring Death Valley National Park. They had stopped for the night at the Mesquite Spring
campground at the northern end of the park, about 180 miles northwest of Las Vegas. About 50 people were staying at the campground, which has restrooms, picnic tables, and potable water. Still, it could be easy for someone to get lost in the darkness of the desert, authorities said.
Kohler is a 5-foot-7 male, weighing 160 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a blue jacket, navy blue T-shirt, and black pants. Anyone who was on the road to Scotty's Castle and might have seen Kohler or gave him a ride should call (760) 878-0383.
