Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP34945) and 9 other sources
George Harold LaChance Jr., 61, was last seen on November 28, 1995, in Escondido, California. On that evening, around 6:00 p.m., LaChance reportedly left his residence on South Juniper Street and never returned. He had a history of walking away after family arguments, but had always come back in the past. At the time of his disappearance, he had not made any travel plans, and no activity has been recorded on his bank accounts or credit cards since that day.

LaChance, a former United Airlines pilot, had retired by 1995 and was known to have struggled with alcohol abuse. Despite extensive searches, no significant clues have emerged, and foul play is suspected, though no concrete evidence has been found. LaChance is described as a Caucasian male, standing 6'1", weighing 175 pounds, with graying brown hair and brown eyes. His case remains unsolved, and authorities are still seeking information.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Escondido Police Department.
