Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP17917) and 5 other sources
Roger Levell, a 27-year-old man, was last seen on December 1, 1971, in South Lake Tahoe, California. At the time of his disappearance, Levell was described as being 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing approximately 170 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes. He had several distinguishing scars, including on his face and head, as well as tattoos on his arms and hands, such as an angel tattoo on his right arm and the words "Levell Love Me" on his left forearm.

Although details surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, it is widely believed that Levell may have been a victim of foul play. Despite decades passing since his disappearance, there have been no significant leads or developments in the case. The exact circumstances of his disappearance are still a mystery, and investigators have long sought information that might bring closure to the case.

Levell’s case is still classified as an endangered missing person, and authorities, including the Sacramento Department of Justice, continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward in hopes of resolving the case. His disappearance, like many others from the time, has left his family and community searching for answers for over 50 years.
