Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP1416) and 5 other sources
Brian Benjamin Hirsch, a 35-year-old man, was last seen on August 1, 2000, in Santa Cruz, California. At the time of his disappearance, he had taken his black 1991 Ford Aerostar to a smog shop in the area. The vehicle, bearing California license plate number 3TLR809, was serviced, but after that day, Hirsch was never heard from again. Described as a white male with brown hair and brown eyes, Hirsch stood at 5'7" and weighed around 150 pounds.

Despite ongoing efforts by law enforcement, very few details have emerged about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. Investigators have listed his case as endangered missing, and DNA is available for future identification efforts. The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Department remains the primary agency overseeing the investigation, yet, after more than two decades, his case remains unsolved.
