Loral Eddie Ryan, 52, was last seen on September 1, 2018, in Albion, California. He was dropped off at the Albion Store and intended to head toward Fort Bragg. At the time he was reported missing he was wearing a leather jacket, black jeans, Converse sneakers and carrying a small black backpack. He was bearded and possibly bald, stood between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 5 inches and weighed about 140–150 pounds. Distinctive tattoos included a Harley Davidson eagle on his back and a cross on his right arm.

Investigators followed unconfirmed tips that he might have traveled to Lake County, San Francisco or Oakland and some observers suggested he could have used public transit, but no solid leads have emerged. The Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate, and there have been no significant breakthroughs reported. If anyone knew Loral Ryan, saw him around Albion or on travel routes after September 1, 2018, contact the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office with information.
