WARDEN — Grant County detectives are searching for Arthur Valentino Madrigal, 36, of Othello, who went missing Aug. 3 from the Heart Lake area, near Warden.

Madrigal is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 130 pounds. He has a tattoo of Chinese symbols on his neck. Madrigal was last seen Aug. 3, 2019 in the Heart Lake area of Grant County, about six miles southwest of Warden. Madrigal was in the company of a 20-year-old female. Madrigal and the female arrived in the area in a burgundy-colored Dodge Truck, according to law enforcement.

Area guests may have witnessed a female calling out for the male for an extended period of time that day or evening, law enforcement wrote in a press release.
