Gladys Jones, described in records as a 31-year-old man sometimes using the alias Larry Jones, was last seen on December 22, 1973, in Los Angeles County. He is listed as 5 feet 4 inches tall, 142 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. At the time he vanished he was wearing a red shirt and black pants and his vehicle was later found abandoned; no further public details about the vehicle’s condition or the circumstances have been released.

Authorities say dental records, fingerprints, and DNA are available for comparison, but very little new information has emerged and the case remains unsolved. If anyone had contact with Gladys around December 1973, knew him as Larry Jones, or has information about the abandoned vehicle, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department encourages that contact be made.
