Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP130514) and 6 other sources
Nancy Yates Kwon, age 44, went missing from Torrance, California, on August 1, 2022. She was last seen around noon in the 1000 block of Park Circle Drive, a residential area in Torrance. Nancy is of Korean descent, stands at 5'1" tall, and weighs approximately 115 pounds. She has gray hair and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she was described as being in a vulnerable situation, and few details have emerged since then regarding the circumstances that led to her disappearance.

Nancy's family and friends have expressed deep concern for her well-being, given that she has not been heard from since that day. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has been involved in the investigation and has asked the public for assistance in finding Nancy. They urge anyone with any information to contact their Missing Persons Unit at (323) 890-5500. Additionally, anonymous tips can be provided through "Crime Stoppers" by calling (800) 222-TIPS or using the "P3 Tips" mobile application, which is available on both Google Play and the Apple App Store.

Despite the ongoing investigation, there are very few leads, and Nancy’s disappearance remains unresolved. Her loved ones are still searching for answers and hoping for any information that could lead to her safe return. As of June 2024, her case remains active, with updates being periodically provided by the authorities to keep the public informed about any new developments in her search (sources: Charley Project, California Department of Justice, Gold Rush Cam).
