Bryan Balcom, a 51-year-old man from Hydesville, California, was last seen on November 20, 2012, at his home on Rohnerville Road. A relative who had left town returned eight days later to find him missing. Neighbors confirmed they had not seen Bryan since the 20th. His personal belongings, including his car keys and driver's license, were found in his house, along with his vehicles. Bryan was known to have medical issues, which raised concerns about his well-being.

At the time of his disappearance, Bryan was described as 5'8", weighing about 180 pounds, with long brown hair and green eyes. He was last seen wearing tan shorts and a pink shirt. His family reported that he had been acting unusually, talking to himself in the days leading up to his disappearance.
