Barry Butler O'Brien, 33, was last seen on February 1, 1992, in Ben Lomond, California. He was a self-employed woodcutter who lived a transient lifestyle, often residing in his vehicle and lacking a permanent address. His last known residence was in the Boulder Creek area, and he frequented the San Lorenzo Valley. Barry had spoken about possibly traveling to Oregon before his disappearance. He has not been heard from since.

Barry is described as a Caucasian male with brown hair and green eyes, standing 6'2" tall and weighing around 190 pounds. He has distinguishing features, including a bullet wound scar on one of his knees, a scar on his right wrist, and a tattoo of the letter "B" on his right forearm. Barry may have used the alias "Barry Fowler" and was known by the nickname "Jewels."

Despite the passage of time, very few details have surfaced regarding Barry's case, and his disappearance remains unsolved. His case is being investigated by the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Department, and any information that could assist in locating him is encouraged.
