Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP124895) and 7 other sources
Valentin Kaloustov, a 64-year-old man, was last seen on February 3, 1999, at his home in Ceres, California, just two days before his 65th birthday. He has not been heard from since, and the circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear. At the time he went missing, Valentin was described as 5'4" tall, weighing 110 pounds, with gray hair. He was last seen wearing brown sport slacks, a beige sweater, large-framed glasses, and a black wool hat with red designs. Notably, some of his clothing may have had Russian markings, as Valentin was of Russian descent.

Despite efforts to locate him, no significant leads have emerged, and few details are available about what might have happened. His case remains unsolved, and law enforcement continues to investigate his disappearance under unknown circumstances. If you have any information, the Ceres Police Department encourages you to come forward.
Last Seen: Feb 3, 1999
