Robert James Dowd, a 31-year-old man, was last seen on January 7, 2007, in La Mirada, California. On that day, around 11:30 a.m., he left his brother’s house to return his sister’s 2003 silver Honda Civic Del Sol. He never arrived at his destination, and his family has not heard from him since. The car Dowd was driving was later found abandoned in the Angeles National Forest, in Azusa Canyon, but there were no signs of Dowd at the scene.
Despite his family reporting him missing on January 21—two weeks after he was last seen—due to his habit of occasionally disappearing for days at a time, his extended absence has been alarming. Dowd’s family and law enforcement have struggled to uncover any clues that could explain what happened to him. His disappearance is classified as endangered, indicating that there may be concerns for his safety.
Dowd was described as 5'9", weighing 150 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a black and gray denim jacket, blue jeans, and black work boots. He also had a distinctive tattoo of the name "DOWD" on his upper back. Although there has been an ongoing investigation, no new information has surfaced, and his case remains unsolved to this day.
