The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public for help finding two men who were last heard from in Squaw Valley more than two years ago.

Donnie Lee, 62, was last seen Nov. 1, 2016 near Squaw Valley Road and Sand Creek Road, according to sheriff’s spokesman Tony Botti. He was reported missing on Nov. 22, 2016. Lee is 6 feet, 1 inch tall and 175 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. He may have a mustache, has a tribal tattoo on his upper right arm and a heart-and-arrow tattoo on his left calf.

Botti said 35-year-old Aleksey Shelest was last heard from on May 18, 2016 while he was in Squaw Valley. He was reported missing on May 29, 2016.

There is no evidence to indicate Lee and Shelest are victims of a crime, Botti said.

Anyone with information about Lee or Shelest is asked to call Detective Brian Schulte at 559-600-8207, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 559-498-7867.
