Yuri Sem Isarev, aged 47, was last seen on June 23, 1985, at his home in Los Angeles, California. His disappearance has been classified as an endangered missing case, as the circumstances surrounding his disappearance are considered suspicious.

At the time of his disappearance, Isarev was described as a Caucasian male with black hair and brown eyes, standing 6 feet tall and weighing 164 pounds. He was 47 years old at the time and has been missing for over three decades. Authorities have entered his dental and fingerprint records into missing person databases, but DNA records are not available for him.
