Johnny Moreno Herrera, a 31-year-old man, was last seen on July 9, 1994, in McFarland, California. He was reportedly riding his bicycle while visiting family in the area. Johnny had developmental disabilities, though he was able to care for himself. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as 5'7" tall, weighing 160 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He also had scars on his chest and upper lip, likely from a cleft palate.

Since that day, there has been no contact or sightings of Johnny, and the details surrounding his disappearance remain scarce. Despite the passage of time, investigators are still seeking any information that could lead to solving his case. If you have any details, the Porterville Police Department is handling the investigation.

His case remains open, with both family and authorities continuing their efforts to find answers.
