Sergei Turin, a 31-year-old man, was last seen on December 26, 2012, in Berkeley, California. Originally from Russia, Sergei was a former student at the University of California, Berkeley. At the time of his disappearance, he was 5'9", weighed approximately 120 pounds, and had brown hair and brown eyes. He had no known distinguishing marks.

The circumstances of Sergei's disappearance remain unclear, and few details have emerged since he was last seen. Some reports have speculated about the potential for suicide, but no conclusive evidence has been found to support any theory. Despite being missing for over a decade, his case remains unsolved, with efforts by law enforcement and his family to locate him continuing.

Sergei's case is listed with multiple missing person databases, including NamUs, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Berkeley Police Department. Age-progressed images and updates have been released to assist in locating him, but there have been no significant developments.
