Peter Laan, 20, of Santa Paula, California, went missing after being dropped off at the top of Toland Road to hike in the Los Padres National Forest on November 29, 1982. He was expected to return that day but never did. Peter was 6 feet tall, about 140 pounds, and had a scar on the left side of his upper lip from a dog bite.

At the time he was wearing a gray windbreaker, a blue sweatshirt over a white sweater, blue Levi’s jeans, brown tennis shoes, and a digital watch with a black plastic band. Ventura County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue conducted an eight-day search without finding any trace of him. Authorities have said it is possible he became lost during the hike, but many details remain scarce and the case remains active.

If anyone saw Peter on or near Toland Road or in the Los Padres National Forest on November 29, 1982, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
