Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP7779) and 3 other sources
Floyd Roydell Newman, a 64-year-old man, was last seen on March 1, 1992, in Needles, California. Newman, who stood around 5'10" and weighed between 215 and 225 pounds, had gray hair and blue eyes, and wore glasses. He also had notable scars, including a four-inch scar on his right knee and a five-inch scar on his left thigh.

After his disappearance, Newman's pickup truck was discovered six months later, abandoned in a wash about half a mile off Highway 95 near Needles. Inside the vehicle were his favorite hat and jacket, but there was no trace of him. Despite these clues, few details have emerged regarding his disappearance, and no substantial leads have been uncovered. His case remains classified as endangered missing, with authorities still seeking information.

Efforts to find Newman have continued for years, and law enforcement encourages anyone with information to contact the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
