Jan Ray Stansberry, a 63-year-old man from Stanislaus County, California, went missing on August 8, 2019. Stansberry, a resident of Patterson, informed a relative of his plans to travel to South Carolina via a Greyhound bus to visit his father. This was the last time he was seen. The following day, a concerning development occurred when Stansberry's sister received a phone call. She was informed that her brother had been found intoxicated and was subsequently taken to Pomona Valley Hospital. After being medically cleared, he was discharged from the hospital. However, Jan Ray Stansberry never arrived at his father's home in South Carolina and has not been seen or heard from since.
