Steven Matthew Bronson, 31, was last seen leaving his Long Beach, California, home on June 27, 2018. Three days later his silver 2003 Toyota Corolla was found abandoned on the northbound 5 Freeway near Castaic, about 50 miles from Long Beach. The car still contained some of his belongings and had the windows rolled down, details that heightened concern about his sudden disappearance.

Bronson had gone missing on two prior occasions but had kept in touch during those episodes; this time his phone has remained off and there has been no activity on his social media accounts. Friends said he might have been heading toward Bakersfield after recently getting lost there with his girlfriend, but there is no confirmed destination. His mental health condition, which can cause disorientation, was reported as a factor in the search.

He is described as 5 feet 9 inches, about 150 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Distinctive tattoos include a handicap symbol near his right eye, a wolf and a bird with an S on a shield on his neck. At the time he vanished he was wearing a black tank top, black shorts, and red shoes. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Long Beach Police Department.
