Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP129842) and 1 other source

Edward Kozar, a 70-year-old man, has been missing from Redding, California since July 16, 2020. His case has been classified as "endangered missing" by the authorities, as few details are available about his disappearance. Edward was last seen in Shasta County, and he has not been heard from since that time. The Shasta County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation and has encouraged anyone with information about Edward's whereabouts to contact them.

Edward is described as a Caucasian male, 6 feet tall, weighing approximately 150 pounds, with gray hair and blue eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he had a full long beard and has a distinguishing tattoo of a small black flower on his upper right arm. He is also known to use the last name "Farmer" as an alias. Dental X-rays are not available for identification purposes, making the assistance from the community even more critical to the case.

The authorities continue to seek any leads that could assist in locating Edward. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Shasta County Sheriff's Office at (530) 245-6025.
