Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP24274) and 1 other source
Kenneth Byram, a 24-year-old male, was last seen on November 1, 1979, in Los Angeles, California. Standing 6'2" tall and weighing approximately 150 pounds, Kenneth had blonde or strawberry-colored hair and green eyes at the time of his disappearance. Very little is known about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, and authorities have provided few details over the years. Despite extensive investigations, Kenneth has never been found, and his case remains unsolved.

His case is registered with the Los Angeles Police Department's Missing Persons Unit, and DNA and dental records are available for identification purposes. Investigators continue to seek information regarding his whereabouts, encouraging anyone with potential leads to come forward.

Kenneth's case is part of a larger number of missing person cases that date back several decades in the Los Angeles area, many of which remain unresolved.
