Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP5151) and 8 other sources
In the late spring of 1983, a 30-year-old man named Greg Prescott Farmer was enjoying a vacation in the scenic paradise of Maui, Hawaii. Originally from the Wrightwood, California area, Greg, who sometimes went by the spelling 'Gregg,' was celebrating his thirtieth birthday on May 29th of that year. Not long after his birthday, in June, he made a phone call to his family back on the mainland. During the call, he asked for money to be sent to him so that he could make his way back home. His family, wanting to help, promptly wired the funds he requested for his return trip.

Tragically, that phone call would be the last time his family ever heard from him. After the money was sent, Greg was never seen or heard from again, and he never made it back to his home in Wrightwood. The days turned into weeks, and with no word from their son, his family grew increasingly worried. The vibrant young man, described as having red hair and blue eyes, had seemingly vanished without a trace from the idyllic Hawaiian island. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are unsettling, as he had expressed a clear desire to return home and had the means to do so.

The investigation into Greg's disappearance was handled by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department in California. Despite their efforts, the case grew cold over the years, leaving his loved ones with unanswered questions and the enduring pain of not knowing what happened to him. His case remains an unsolved missing person investigation, a poignant story of a young man who went to a beautiful place to celebrate a milestone in his life, only to disappear, leaving a void in the lives of those who knew and loved him. The passage of time has not diminished the hope for answers, and the official record of his disappearance serves as a somber reminder of a life interrupted.
