Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP7192) and 4 other sources
Milton Raymond Hawkins, aged 24 at the time, was last seen on June 1, 1972, in San Francisco, California. On that day, Hawkins boarded a bus with the intention of returning home, but he never arrived. In the days leading up to his disappearance, Hawkins was scheduled to testify in court against members of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang, raising questions about whether his disappearance was connected to the upcoming testimony. However, no definitive link has been established, and few details have emerged since he vanished.

Hawkins is described as a Caucasian male with sandy brown hair and blue eyes. He stood between 6'1" and 6'3" and weighed approximately 175 to 200 pounds. He had previously fractured both of his legs in a fall at age 16, which may serve as a distinguishing feature. Despite some leads and extensive investigation, his case remains unsolved, and his fate after that day remains a mystery.

The San Francisco Police Department is still seeking information about Hawkins' case, and it remains open in multiple missing person databases. Despite the decades that have passed, the case continues to garner attention, but no significant breakthroughs have been made.
