Summary based on 3 sources
On September 11, 1987, 26-year-old Billy Lee Maynard was last seen in Weaverville, California. Details regarding the specific circumstances of his disappearance, including what he was doing at the time and what clothing he might have been wearing, have not been made publicly available. His case remains an active missing person investigation with the Trinity County Sheriff's Department.

Maynard is described as a white male, 5'8" tall, and weighing approximately 155 pounds at the time he went missing. He has brown hair and hazel eyes. Distinguishing physical characteristics include several tattoos: a monkey on his chest, the name "April" on the middle of his back, and an unidentified red tattoo on his right forearm. He also has a large scar on one of his legs and has an artificial knee.

The Trinity County Sheriff's Department is the primary agency investigating Maynard's disappearance. Despite the passage of several decades, his case is still listed as unsolved. There is no publicly accessible information regarding any potential leads, suspects, or theories that have been developed in the investigation into what happened to Billy Lee Maynard. The lack of available details in online sources makes a comprehensive summary of the events leading to his disappearance and the subsequent investigation difficult to construct.
