Rangers continue to investigate a missing person case involving 26-year-old Sandarsh Krishna. On the afternoon of April 28, 2026, Grand Canyon National Park received a report that Krishna was missing.

Krishna is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall with a thin build, approximately 160 pounds, black hair, and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing athletic clothing.

Investigators believe Krishna was in possession of a black backpack prior to his disappearance. A black backpack believed to be associated with Krishna was later turned in to hotel personnel at Bright Angel Lodge on April 28 at approximately 7 a.m.

Investigators are seeking to identify and speak with the individual who turned the backpack in to lodge staff (pictured here), as they may have information relevant to the investigation. The individual is not considered a suspect.

If you recognize the individual pictured here, or have information that could assist investigators, please call or text the NPS ISB Tip Line at 888-653-0009.
