Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP43306) and 5 other sources
Clair Cox, a 77-year-old man from Los Angeles, California, was last seen at his home on August 5, 1987. Suffering from dementia, Cox was particularly vulnerable at the time of his disappearance. He is described as a white male, standing 5'8" and weighing 140 pounds, with gray hair and blue eyes. Notably, Cox was missing his lower teeth, and his mental condition was deteriorating due to senility.

The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, and few details have emerged since he went missing. Despite the efforts of the Los Angeles Police Department, no substantial leads have been found, and his case remains unsolved decades later. His name is listed in multiple missing person databases, including the California Department of Justice and NamUs, but the investigation has not led to his recovery.

If anyone has any information regarding Cox’s whereabouts, they are encouraged to contact the LAPD’s Missing Persons Unit.
