Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9455) and 1 other source
Edgar Norman Scow, aged 54, was last seen on June 1, 2009, in Adelanto, California. He was spotted riding his bicycle away from his home, carrying a backpack. Scow, a Caucasian male with brown hair and blue eyes, also had a full beard and a ponytail at the time of his disappearance. He left behind some personal belongings at his residence, and after that day, no one has heard from him again. Despite investigations by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, very little information has surfaced regarding his case, which remains unsolved.

Authorities continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward, as Scow’s disappearance remains a mystery.
