Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP50979) and 3 other sources
Jerry Augustus Atkins, an 83-year-old man from Butte County, California, was last seen on October 4, 2016. His disappearance is classified as an endangered missing case due to his age and the unclear circumstances surrounding it. Atkins, who stood 5'9" and weighed around 200 pounds, was last known to be driving a white 1992 Honda Accord with the California license plate number DP300JW. Despite efforts from local authorities, neither he nor his vehicle has been located since.

Atkins' case remains unsolved, and few details have emerged about the events leading up to his disappearance. His vehicle was reportedly found in Plymouth County, but no other significant clues have surfaced to aid the ongoing investigation. Authorities are still actively searching for answers, and any new information could be crucial to resolving the case.

Atkins was described as having gray hair and brown eyes. Due to his advanced age and the lack of concrete leads, his family and law enforcement agencies are urging the public to come forward with any information that might help uncover his whereabouts.
