Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP159443) and 1 other source
Male Olad Farah, a 41-year-old man, was last in contact on November 30, 2021, in Anaheim, California. Known to be a quiet individual, he had been working as a security guard. For approximately two decades, Farah had resided in California, primarily in the Anaheim area. During his time there, he experienced periods of homelessness and lived in various shared housing arrangements. His extended family, who have been attempting to locate him, have not had any communication with him since 2020.

At the time of his disappearance, Farah was described as a Black male, standing at 6 feet tall and weighing around 180 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. The circumstances surrounding his last known contact on that late November day in 2021 remain unclear. Efforts to find him at previous shared homes have been unsuccessful, and details regarding his clothing or any personal belongings he may have had with him at the time are not publicly available. The Anaheim Police Department is the investigating agency for his case.

The search for Olad Farah continues, with his family still awaiting answers. Having lost touch with him a year before his official last contact date, their concern is profound. The case is an active missing person investigation, and there is a hope that public awareness may lead to information regarding his whereabouts. The overview of the case is one of a man who, despite facing personal challenges, maintained a life in the Anaheim community, only to vanish without a trace, leaving his loved ones in a state of uncertainty.
