William Prescott, 26, was last seen on February 5, 1980, in Half Moon Bay, California. On the day of his disappearance, Prescott was driving his white 1964 International Harvester pickup truck, which had two license plates: 121YVV and 37376A. At the time, he was wearing a salmon-print t-shirt, a small plaid shirt, light blue pants, and new reddish-brown Red Wing boots. Prescott also had a distinctive scar on his abdomen, and his case is classified as endangered missing due to the unclear circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
Very few details have emerged since he was last seen, and no witnesses have come forward to provide significant leads. Despite his case being featured on several missing persons platforms, including NamUs and the Doe Network, it remains unsolved, with no evidence of foul play or major developments in the investigation. His family and law enforcement continue to seek answers, but after more than four decades, William Prescott's whereabouts remain unknown. Investigators urge anyone with information to contact the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Department in hopes of solving this cold case.
