Charles Frederick Shelley, 42 years old at the time of his disappearance, was last seen on December 23, 1983, in Sacramento, California. Charles, who went by the nickname "Fred," had been living in a rented room near F Street in downtown Sacramento. His family reported him missing after he failed to appear following the death of his mother, news that he had received just days before he disappeared.
He had a history of mental health struggles, including a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia, and had previously attempted suicide.
Charles was a Caucasian male, 6 feet tall, and weighed between 250 and 300 pounds. He had brown hair, blue eyes, and wore eyeglasses. He also had several scars, including a linear scar on his neck and four scars on his back from a past stabbing incident. His brother reported him missing on Christmas Day in 1983, but no trace of Charles has ever been found, and the circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear. Investigators have not uncovered any significant leads, and his case remains open and unsolved.Last Seen: Dec 23, 1983
