Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9438) and 6 other sources
Evan Allan Snider, age 34, was last seen on October 22, 1976, in Long Beach, California. He owned an apartment building on Cedar Avenue, where he was last spotted. Snider's disappearance remains a mystery, and there have been no confirmed sightings of him since that day. Shortly after he vanished, an unidentified individual found Snider's wallet and gave it to his brother, prompting his family to report him missing. His gold 1971 Datsun 1200 was found stripped and abandoned in the same neighborhood several weeks later.

Further investigation revealed that someone had taken his mail and forged his signature to access his bank accounts. Snider, known to his friends and family as "Al," had a distinctive mustache and a red birthmark on the back of his neck. Despite these clues, his case remains unsolved, and authorities have not been able to determine what happened to him after that day in October 1976.

The Long Beach Police Department continues to investigate the case, but no significant leads have emerged. His disappearance is considered highly suspicious, and foul play is suspected.

Last Seen: Oct 22, 1976
