Canadian man linked to three women who are missing in the US: police

A Canadian man believed to have been in the U.S. illegally for more than two decades has now been linked to three women who are missing in that country.

The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office says Robert Carnochan, 69, has been linked to 72-year-old Nancy Hartz of Kingman, Ariz., 73-year-old Verna Clayton of Dolan Springs, Ariz., and 77-year-old Neva Lindley of Las Vegas, Nev.

Investigators say Hartz went missing last June, while Clayton was last seen in June of 2008 and Lindley in November 2011.

They say Carnochan told them that when he last saw each of the women, they were alive and well and left of their own volition.

The sheriff’s office says Carnochan is believed to have been in the U.S. illegally since 1993 and has been using at least two different identities since then.

He was arrested last month on forgery and identity theft charges and has been indicted on those charges, along with several weapons charges.
