Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP41633) and 4 other sources
Lloyd Farrar, aged 60, was last seen on May 24, 1978, in North Hollywood, California. At the time of his disappearance, he stood 6 feet tall, weighed approximately 205 pounds, and had gray hair and brown eyes. Farrar wore glasses and had a distinguishing physical feature: one of his legs was shorter than the other.

Farrar vanished under suspicious circumstances after being last seen at a restaurant. He has not been heard from since that day, and foul play is suspected. Investigations into his case have not yielded significant leads, and details surrounding his disappearance remain unclear.

Despite extensive investigations, Farrar’s case remains unresolved, with the Los Angeles Police Department continuing to seek any information that could assist in solving the case. His disappearance is classified as an endangered missing person.
