Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP43237) and 3 other sources
Joshua Chamberlain Coe, 21 years old, was last seen on December 7, 2017, when his mother dropped him off in Auburn, California. A known transient, Joshua had connections in both Placer and Nevada Counties. He has not been heard from since that day, and authorities believe his history of drug abuse and possible mental illness may have played a role in his disappearance.

At the time he went missing, Joshua was described as being between 5'10" and 6'0" tall and weighing between 145 and 200 pounds. He has brown hair, brown eyes, and several tattoos, including "Death Before Dishonor" on his left forearm and additional tattoos on his right forearm. On the day of his disappearance, he was wearing a tan and black windbreaker, a black t-shirt, and blue jeans.

Authorities continue to investigate his case, but few details have emerged. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Placer County Sheriff's Office, as his case remains unsolved.
