David Paul Babin was 73 years old when he was reported missing after last being seen in Inglewood, California. Public missing-person bulletins describe his case as an endangered missing adult, and note that after he was last seen, he was not heard from again. Only limited information about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance has been made publicly available.
Descriptions released for identification purposes say Mr. Babin is a White male with gray hair and blue eyes, and that he had a long white beard at the time he went missing. He is listed at about 5'7" and approximately 140 pounds. He is described as having tattoos on both arms and walking with a cane, details that can be important for recognition and for understanding potential mobility needs.
What he was reported to be wearing is also included in the available public information: a blue jacket, sweatpants, and a hat. In cases where so few circumstances are public, these clothing details, along with distinctive features like tattoos and the cane, may be among the most helpful identifiers for anyone who may have seen him or who may be trying to match a past sighting to a missing-person description.
The investigating agency listed publicly for this case is the Inglewood Police Department, and the case entry associated with the disappearance includes their contact phone number for tips. California also maintains a statewide missing-persons program and publishes guidance urging anyone who believes they know a missing person’s whereabouts to contact the listed law-enforcement agency or the California Department of Justice’s missing-persons hotline.
As of the most recent publicly viewable state web entry associated with Mr. Babin’s name, the California Department of Justice page returns a message indicating the record is not available on that page. Because public listings can change for administrative reasons or site updates, that message by itself does not explain what happened to Mr. Babin. The Charley Project’s public case entry continues to describe him as missing and notes that few details have been released, and no public update confirming a resolution was found in the sources reviewed here.
