Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP1256) and 9 other sources
Beau Garrett Heller, 28, was last seen on the evening of January 29, 2005, in Duarte, California. He left his home after a disagreement with his family and was riding a blue makeshift bicycle, presumably to cycle along the San Gabriel River trail. Heller was wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers at the time. His family reported that it was uncharacteristic of him to leave without warning, raising immediate concerns when he did not return.

Beau was a student at Citrus College, and his disappearance prompted an extensive search. Initially, authorities treated the case as a missing person’s incident, but over time, suspicions of foul play grew. Investigators later received tips suggesting that Heller may have been murdered, leading to multiple searches of the San Gabriel Riverbed near Duarte’s Encanto Park in the years following his disappearance. Despite these efforts, no remains have been found, and his case remains unsolved.

Heller’s family and law enforcement continue to seek information about his whereabouts. Anyone with knowledge of the case is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
