People who may have vandalized rocks in Grand Canyon National Park/NPS Investigative Services Branch

National Park Service authorities are looking for a couple in connection with vandalism in Grand Canyon National Park.

Investigative Services Branch agents and Grand Canyon rangers are seeking information about two people who may have vandalized rocks near the Yavapai Geology Museum.

On May 22, 2016, a visitor at the South Rim of the park observed a couple spray painting graffiti, and was able to capture images of the people and the vandalism, according to a park release. After painting "Evans 16" on a rock feature, the couple left before park rangers could contact them.

If you were in the park that day and may have seen these people, or if you recognize them from the image, you should contact the Investigative Services Branch. You can do so anonymously. You can:

* Call the Tip Line at 888-653-0009

* Send them an online tip

* Email the branch

* Send agents a message on Facebook

incarceration is unnecessary. Hard labor doing trail restoration would be better. 


Think maybe their last name is Evans? Idiots, More breed every day. 


I suggest that we find out their address,  then, everyone that  is offended by this swing by and tag their house.


Parents know them


Why does is seem that now days gross stupidity is becoming normal?


This is just a direct reflection of a society of people's attitudes who think they can do what ever they want......with no regard for any one else........if you punish them...they don't or won't  care.....I'm sure they don't even think there was any thing wrong with what they did......That is just sad......These people need to be more responsible with their actions......and more mindful of these parks that have been cared for for years.......If they  want to tag something...do it to your own stuff.


It takes a special kind of stupid to sign your name to your crime. 


It's saddening that people have no respect for history. To them it was just a rock and they wanted to leave their mark. I agree with several comments that they should have to pay a large fine and clean up the graffiti. I hope they are caught and prosecuted.
