Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP82949) and 6 other sources
Jorge Alberto Mejia, a 77-year-old Hispanic male, went missing from Chatsworth, California, on September 3, 2017. At the time, Mejia was a resident at a board and care facility in the Chatsworth Lake Manor area. He left the facility early in the morning and has not been heard from since. Mejia stands between 5'3" and 5'7" and weighs between 110 and 150 pounds. He has gray hair and brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a colored striped shirt, blue jeans, and a baseball cap.

Mejia suffers from a medical condition that may cause confusion and disorientation, making him particularly vulnerable. His disappearance has raised significant concern, and authorities have conducted searches to locate him. Despite these efforts, few details have emerged about his whereabouts. Mejia's case remains classified as endangered missing, and the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department continues to request the public's assistance in finding him.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department or use anonymous tip lines to aid in the investigation. As time passes, the urgency of finding Jorge Mejia remains critical, given his age and medical condition.
