Reza Mahallati, a 42‑year‑old man of White/Caucasian descent, was last known to have updated his driver’s license records with the California Department of Motor Vehicles on September 6, 2018. That same day remains the final confirmed point of contact for him.
Family members last saw Reza when he appeared at a relative’s residence around 2018 or 2019. During that encounter, he reportedly made certain demands—details of which have not been publicly disclosed.
Concerned for his wellbeing, the family hired a private investigator the following year, in 2019, but the investigator ultimately concluded that Reza appeared to be “off the grid,” without further traceable activity or contact.
According to the NamUs database entry for his case the Los Angeles Police Department’s Adult Missing Persons Unit is the investigating authority. They’re handling the official inquiry under LAPD case number 25141416, filed on July 31, 2025, though the exact circumstances under which the case was reopened or revisited at that time are not detailed in the available public record.
Physically, Reza is described as standing approximately 6 foot tall, weighing around 165 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. No distinctive physical marks, clothing, or accessories are recorded in the publicly accessible information.
NamUs lists his primary location as Los Angeles, California—specifically, he is missing from the 90066 ZIP code, in Los Angeles County.
The timeline, as known: a valid DMV update on September 6, 2018; a final family sighting around that time or possibly into early 2019; a private investigator’s findings in 2019; and a NamUs case entry created August 15, 2025, with subsequent LAPD case documentation in July 2025.
This case remains unresolved, and the family’s concern endures. Anyone with relevant information is urged to contact the Los Angeles Police Department’s Adult Missing Persons Unit at the address provided, or consult NamUs for further direction.Last Seen: Sep 6, 2018
