Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP50603) and 3 other sources
Ronald Emmitt Yocom, a 67-year-old man from Running Springs, California, was last seen on June 3, 2018, hiking near Hunsaker Road and Deep Creek in the local area. Yocom, who was in the early stages of dementia and had heart disease, did not return from his hike, prompting his daughter to report him missing four days later when she had not heard from him. Despite an extensive search of the hiking trail, no signs of him were found.

Yocom was last seen wearing a black t-shirt and blue overalls. He is described as a Caucasian male with gray hair and brown eyes, standing 5'9" and weighing between 200 to 235 pounds. Due to his medical condition, it was advised not to approach him abruptly as he could become startled. Despite searches and ongoing investigations, no further leads have emerged regarding his disappearance, leaving his case unsolved.
