On October 29, 1995, 18-year-old Anthony Robert Bass Jr. was last seen in his hometown of Atwater, California. An African American male, Bass stood at approximately 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighed around 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Information regarding the clothing he was wearing or any personal items he may have had with him at the time of his disappearance is not publicly available.
The circumstances surrounding Bass's disappearance are centered on conflicting accounts from the last person known to have seen him, his neighbor Joel Wedge. Bass had informed others that he was going on a fishing trip with Wedge to Lake Donnel. However, Wedge later disputed this, telling authorities that they never went fishing and that he had instead dropped Bass off at a baseball field in Chowchilla, California. Anthony Robert Bass Jr. never returned home and has not been seen or heard from since.
Foul play is suspected in Bass's disappearance, and his family believes he was murdered. The case remains unsolved, and it is an active investigation with the Atwater Police Department. Publicly available online sources do not contain specific updates on the investigation or developments in the case in recent years.
