Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP25431) and 5 other sources
Peter Davis, a 54-year-old Caucasian man, was last seen on March 17, 1982, in Los Angeles, California. He and his wife, Joan Davis, disappeared under suspicious circumstances and have not been heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, Peter was described as being 5'5" tall, weighing around 136 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes.

Authorities have suspected foul play in the case, believing the couple's disappearance may have been tied to business-related disputes. A former car dealer from Reseda was considered a suspect, not only in Peter and Joan's case but also in the disappearance of another family around the same time. However, despite these suspicions, no charges have been filed, and their case remains unsolved.

The case has been classified as an endangered missing person case, and both Peter and Joan's information is listed in databases such as NamUs and the Doe Network. Investigators continue to seek any information that could lead to resolving their mysterious disappearance.
