Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP99797) and 3 other sources
Ian Thorstad, a 37-year-old man, was last seen on January 8, 2023, in Vallejo, California. At the time of his disappearance, Thorstad was wearing a black sweatshirt with "Warriors" printed on the front and acid-washed jeans. Standing 6'1" and weighing around 180 pounds, he is described as having black hair and green eyes. Thorstad suffers from bipolar disorder and was reported to be in a manic state when he disappeared, which has heightened concerns about his safety.

His family, including his mother who works for KTVU, has actively searched for him since he was last heard from on that day. Despite their efforts and the involvement of local authorities, no significant developments have been reported. Thorstad's case remains open, and anyone with information is urged to contact the Vallejo Police Department.
