Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP11777) and 4 other sources
Terrence O'Donahue, a 65-year-old man, was last seen on July 18, 2011, in Lakewood, California. He left his home around 6:00 AM to go to work but never arrived at his job as a security supervisor at Boeing. His family reported him missing later that day when they were unable to reach him.

Shortly after he was reported missing, O'Donahue's car was discovered abandoned on a forest service road in the Holcomb Valley area, near Big Bear Lake. This discovery led to extensive search efforts by local law enforcement and search and rescue teams, which included aerial searches of the surrounding area. Unfortunately, despite these efforts, there were no signs of O'Donahue at that time.

In August 2011, partial remains that were believed to be O'Donahue's were recovered near Big Bear. However, the circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, and the investigation continues. Authorities are still seeking any additional information that might shed light on what happened to Terrence O'Donahue during those critical hours.
