Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP19743) and 3 other sources
Patrick Francis Ross, a 22-year-old man, was last seen on March 3, 1984, at his residence in San Dimas, California. He lived in the vicinity of the 400 block of North Amelia Avenue and has not been heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, Ross was 6'2", weighed around 145 pounds, and had brown hair and blue eyes. He was known to wear contact lenses and may have been carrying a brightly colored knapsack. His tan ten-speed bicycle with sponge rubber hand grips also went missing along with him.

There are very few details surrounding the circumstances of his disappearance. Despite ongoing investigations by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, no significant clues have emerged, and his case remains unsolved. Authorities have classified his disappearance as an endangered missing person case, and his DNA is available for comparison should any relevant evidence arise in the future.
Last Seen: Mar 3, 1984
