Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9943) and 6 other sources
Travess Shaun Malone, a 22-year-old man, was last seen on May 1, 2001, while on a camping trip in Barstow, California, near the Saw Tooth Canyon area. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a t-shirt, blue jeans, and a gray neck chain. Travess, who was 6'1" and weighed approximately 190 pounds, had brown hair and eyes, and was known to wear eyeglasses. He also had a previously broken right hand.

Despite an investigation into his disappearance, few details have emerged, and Travess has not been heard from since that day. Law enforcement, including the Barstow Police Department, continues to list him as missing, with DNA, dental, and fingerprint records available for identification purposes. However, there have been no significant leads or discoveries related to his case over the years. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain a mystery, and his case remains open for any new information that could help resolve it.

If anyone has information about Travess Malone's whereabouts, they are urged to contact the Barstow Police Department.
