William Cierzan, 58, was last seen at his Santa Clarita home on January 26, 2017. That afternoon he spent time with his nephew, Daniel Cierzan, and after a trip to a convenience store William spoke with his wife between 3:30 and 4:00 p.m. When she returned about 7:00 p.m., the house was in disarray, a prepared dinner sat out, and William was missing. His car, wallet, and phone remained at the residence, and traces of his blood were found both inside and outside the home.

A neighbor’s surveillance camera captured a vehicle resembling Daniel’s arriving at the driveway around 5:00 p.m. and leaving shortly afterward. Daniel was a person of interest early in the probe and initially denied knowing what happened. He was later arrested and charged with murder; he admitted to dumping William’s body in a remote location after a confrontation, but William’s remains have never been recovered. The family is still seeking answers about what happened and where William is.

If anyone knew William, his habits, or saw activity in that neighborhood on January 26, 2017, please come forward with information.
