Notes

Lederer was last seen in the 31000 block of Citrine Road in Castaic, California on February 18, 2023. This was when his parents told him that if he was going to continue to use drugs, he could no longer stay in their home. He told them, "I'm always going to be an addict," and left. He may have been trying to get to Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles, California. He has never been heard from again. His family filed a missing persons report with him about a year after his disappearance, as they learned none of his friends, even the ones in the drug culture, had heard from him. Few details are available in his case.
