Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP6193) and 9 other sources
Anthony Lamar Horner, 18 years old at the time, was last seen on February 4, 1989, at his family's home in Santa Rosa, California. He disappeared without a trace and has not been heard from since. Authorities believe Horner may have left voluntarily, as he could have been frequenting soup kitchens and shelters across the U.S. in the years following his disappearance.

Horner is described as a Caucasian male with brown hair and blue eyes, standing 5'7" and weighing between 135 and 155 pounds. He has a small scar on his lower right cheek, a chipped front tooth, and several distinctive tattoos, including a peacock and mushroom on his upper left arm, and an inverted cross on his lower left arm. At the time of his disappearance, he was last seen wearing a black rock band t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers.

Despite the passage of time, his case remains unresolved. His image has been age-progressed to show what he might look like today, and authorities are still seeking any information that might help locate him. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Santa Rosa Police Department.

Last Seen: Feb 4, 1989
