Larry Darnell McClure was reported missing after he was last seen in Stockton, California on January 8, 2017. Public listings describe him as transient at the time and out of contact with his family, with his known day-to-day presence centered around the downtown Stockton area. After that last confirmed sighting, he has not been heard from again, and only limited public details have been released about what led up to his disappearance.
In available descriptions, McClure is a Black male who was 61 years old when he went missing. He is listed at approximately 5'8" and about 230 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes, and he reportedly had a full beard at the time he disappeared. He may use the last names Johnson and/or Walker, and he has also been associated with the alias name Ernest Walker, which can make locating records or sightings more difficult and increases the importance of comparing physical characteristics and context when tips come in.
Because he was described as transient and not in regular contact with loved ones, the early timeline may have been especially hard to pin down, and the public record emphasizes that few details are available. Situations like this can leave families with painful uncertainty—wondering whether a loved one is safe, whether they needed help, or whether they simply lost the ability to stay connected. Even when information is scarce, every confirmed detail can matter: where he tended to spend time downtown, the name he might answer to, and distinctive features like his beard and overall build.
The investigating agency listed for McClure’s case is the Stockton Police Department. The Stockton Police Department has also publicly stated that it considers missing person cases open and active until the missing person is located, and that there is no waiting period to file a missing person report when someone’s absence is concerning. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact local law enforcement; Stockton’s missing persons information page lists non-emergency reporting at 937-8377 and notes the California Department of Justice missing-persons hotline at 1-800-222-3463, and the Stockton missing persons open-cases page lists the Missing Person/Cold Case Unit at 937-8323 for case information.
