Case Description

Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4384) and 4 other sources
Carlos Amendos Herriford, a 20-year-old man, was last seen on October 13, 1995, in San Luis Obispo, California. At the time, Herriford was leading a transient lifestyle and was known to frequent the Cambria area. He has not been heard from since that day, and foul play is suspected in his disappearance. There were rumors that he might have been murdered during a drug-related incident in 2002, with his body reportedly dumped in the desert, though this has never been confirmed.

In addition to being a missing person, Herriford was wanted by law enforcement for two outstanding felony charges related to sex crimes, and he had failed to register as a sex offender as required by law. His case remains unsolved, and both his whereabouts and the circumstances of his disappearance continue to puzzle investigators. The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Department is handling the investigation and is seeking any information that could help resolve the case.
