Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP23397) and 4 other sources
Terry G. Morris, a 21-year-old man, was last seen on August 1, 1982, in Grass Valley, California. At the time of his disappearance, he was hitchhiking and has not been heard from since. Terry is described as a white male, approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing around 150 pounds, with blond hair and green eyes. Notably, he has tattoos of eagle wings on the left side of his back and a snake head on his right shoulder.

The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are unclear, and there have been few details reported since that day. Terry was last known to be wearing a gray and blue "Nova" t-shirt and blue corduroy cut-off pants, and he was carrying a blue backpack.

Investigators from the Nevada County Sheriff's Department continue to look into the case, and anyone with information regarding Terry's whereabouts is urged to contact them. Despite the passage of time, there is still hope that new leads may emerge to help resolve this long-standing mystery.
