Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP97281) and 2 other sources

Lonny Martin, a 77-year-old man, went missing on October 29, 2020, from Santa Ana, California. He was last seen around 4:00 p.m. on that day, and since then, there has been no further contact or sightings of him. Lonny is described as a Caucasian male with brown hair and brown eyes, standing 5'10" tall and weighing approximately 175 pounds. At the time of his disappearance, few details about his situation were publicly available, and no significant updates have surfaced in the years since.

The Santa Ana Police Department is actively involved in the investigation, although information on whether any new leads have been found is scarce. Martin's case has been classified as endangered, but the reasons for this classification have not been explicitly detailed in public reports. This lack of information makes it challenging to ascertain the circumstances leading to his disappearance.

Authorities continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward. The ongoing nature of the investigation highlights the difficulty of solving such cases without substantial evidence or witness accounts. Family, friends, and the community remain hopeful that new developments will arise.
