Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9371) and 9 other sources
Loren Wayne Harvey Jr., 41 years old at the time, was last seen leaving his home in Paradise, California, on October 15, 2010, around 4:30 p.m. He was driving his white 2001 Dodge quad cab truck, but he never returned. Nine days later, his truck was found abandoned in a remote area near Whiskey Flats. Inside the vehicle were his keys, wallet, and later, a gun that was discovered after the truck had been towed back home. The windows were rolled down, and there were no signs of Loren in the area. Despite extensive searches, including the use of search dogs, no trace of him has ever been found.

Harvey was a husband and father of two, known to be a dedicated family man. He had distinctive features such as tattoos, including a rat on his ankle and an eyeball on his leg, and had scars from previous injuries. The case remains unsolved, and local authorities, along with his family, continue to seek answers regarding his disappearance.
