Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP22552) and 4 other sources
Todd Edward Lucchesi, a 28-year-old man from Fremont, California, was last seen on May 31, 1999, near Downieville in Sierra County. He had been staying at his family's summer cabin, located near the Yuba River, and was reported missing on June 3, after his brothers returned to the cabin and discovered he was gone.

Search efforts, including the use of dogs, tracked Lucchesi’s scent from the cabin to within five feet of the edge of the north fork of the Yuba River, but no further evidence of his whereabouts was found. Despite extensive searches, his case remains unsolved, and he is classified as missing under suspicious circumstances. Authorities suspect that he may have fallen into the river, although no conclusive evidence has surfaced to confirm this. His disappearance remains a mystery, and his family continues to search for answers.
Last Seen: May 31, 1999
