Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP11804) and 2 other sources
Curtis William Jones Jr., 47, was last seen on May 15, 1991, in Running Springs, California. He has not been heard from since that day, and few details surrounding his disappearance have come to light. At the time, Curtis was known to be unhoused and frequently moved between Riverside and San Bernardino counties. He was described as standing 6'0" to 6'1", weighing between 180 to 200 pounds, with red hair and brown eyes. He also had multiple distinctive tattoos, including a skull wearing a top hat on his right arm, dice with the phrase "Born to Lose" on his left arm, a girl on his left shoulder, and a spiderweb between his thumb and index finger.

Curtis may have been using the alias "Richard Perril" or "Richard Parril" at the time of his disappearance. Despite investigations by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, no significant leads have emerged over the years. His case remains unsolved, and authorities continue to seek information from the public.

Last Seen: May 15, 1991
