Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP29451) and 2 other sources
Craig Alec Hill, a 58-year-old man, was last in contact with his family on July 13, 2014, in Ramona, California. Hill had a transient lifestyle, frequently traveling between Humboldt County and San Diego County. He suffered from a chronic medical condition, requiring a colostomy bag, and had lost his teeth, which added to concerns about his health and well-being during the time of his disappearance. Known by the nickname "Animal," Hill was reported missing after his communication ceased, raising alarm among family and authorities.

Despite his transient nature, Hill’s medical needs were a pressing issue, making it crucial for him to receive treatment regularly. His case remains unsolved, with few details available about the circumstances of his disappearance. Authorities encourage anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact the Belmont Police Department, which is handling the investigation.
