Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP71366) and 2 other sources
Oscar Lee Leveringston, a 79-year-old man, was last seen in Lancaster, California, on November 1, 2018. At the time of his disappearance, Leveringston was living a transient lifestyle and receiving services from a local homeless shelter. His family last had contact with him via telephone on the day he went missing. Although he was not known to suffer from any mental health issues, he has not been heard from since.

Leveringston had previously resided in Wisconsin, where he still had family. Described as 5'7" tall and weighing approximately 150 pounds, he had brown hair, brown eyes, and a full beard. Despite efforts by law enforcement to locate him, including a public call for assistance nearly two years after his disappearance, no new information has emerged regarding his whereabouts.
