Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP111145) and 2 other sources
Arturo Lepe, age 32, was last seen on November 10, 2009, in Bakersfield, California. He is described as a Hispanic male with brown hair, brown eyes, standing at 5'11", and weighing about 165 pounds. Arturo suffers from mental health issues and was without his necessary medication at the time of his disappearance. His family believes that due to his condition, he may not remember personal details such as his name or where he is from, raising concerns that he may be homeless or in vulnerable circumstances.

Arturo's case has been classified as endangered missing, and despite ongoing efforts, there have been no significant developments or sightings since he vanished. The Bakersfield Police Department continues to seek information that could help locate him, and they urge anyone with relevant details to contact the authorities.

The case remains unsolved, and Arturo’s family continues to hold out hope for answers.
