Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP17549) and 2 other sources
Jeffrey Bernt Peskin, a 28-year-old man, was last seen on November 24, 2005, in Chino, California. He was wearing a checkered shirt and gray cargo shorts at the time of his disappearance and was carrying a dark-colored backpack. Jeffrey is described as standing 5'11" tall, weighing around 200 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. He has two distinctive tattoos: a large black cross that covers his back and a 12-inch black ink totem pole tattoo on his left calf.

Few details have emerged about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, and he has not been heard from since that day. His case remains unsolved, and law enforcement continues to seek any information that could lead to his whereabouts. The Chino Police Department is handling the investigation.

Despite extensive searches and efforts to generate leads, the case remains open. Jeffrey’s disappearance has been documented in missing persons databases, including the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), but no substantial updates have been reported in recent years. His family and investigators are still hoping for new information that might help solve this mystery.
