Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP126389) and 7 other sources
Nam Sarg Hy, a 29-year-old man, was last seen on October 17, 1986, at his home in Los Angeles, California. Hy suffered from severe medical conditions, including memory loss and an inability to speak, due to a prior brain surgery that left him mentally unstable. He had a noticeable surgical scar on his head as a result of the operation. At the time of his disappearance, Hy was 5'2" tall, weighed approximately 100 pounds, and had black hair and brown eyes.

Hy's disappearance has remained a mystery for decades, with few details available. There have been no updates or sightings since that day, and he remains classified as endangered missing. Given his medical conditions, his family and investigators have been deeply concerned about his ability to care for himself. Despite efforts by the Los Angeles Police Department, no leads have emerged, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Anyone with information regarding his disappearance is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles Police Department.
