Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP43370) and 5 other sources
Charles Mikol Fabian, a 27-year-old man, was last seen on August 23, 1981, in Paradise, California. His wife reported him missing on August 29, 1981, noting that while it was not unusual for him to leave without notifying her, it was strange that he had left without money or his vehicle. He has not been seen or heard from since that day. Charles was known for his distinctive appearance, including being blind in his left eye, a peacock tattoo on his upper left arm, and a tattoo of a rose with the name "Kathy" on his right forearm. Additionally, he wore a silver wedding ring with turquoise and red coral stones.

At the time of his disappearance, Charles was described as 6'2" and weighing around 210 pounds. His case remains unsolved, and authorities have very limited information about where he might have gone or what happened to him. The Paradise Police Department continues to handle the investigation, but no substantial leads have emerged since he went missing. His case has been entered into multiple missing persons databases, including NamUs and the California Department of Justice's missing persons directory.
