Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP38014) and 2 other sources
Charles Grayson Sudduth, a 68-year-old man, was last seen on March 3, 2004, when he traveled from Los Angeles International Airport on United Airlines flight #0839, bound for Sydney, Australia. He arrived in Sydney on March 5, 2004, but after that, there has been no further trace of him. There are no records of him ever leaving Australia, and he has not made contact with family or friends since. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as having brown or grey hair, a solid build, and brown eyes. Notably, he had one glass eye and a shorter right leg, which would have made him recognizable.

Sudduth's disappearance has raised concerns for his safety and well-being, particularly as no communication or activity has been detected after his arrival in Australia. Authorities in both the United States and Australia have been involved in the investigation, but his case remains unsolved, with no significant leads as to his whereabouts or what may have happened to him after arriving in Sydney.

Last Seen: Mar 3, 2004
