John Thomas White, 36, of Winterhaven, California, was last seen May 22, 2015, after being spotted swimming in the All American Canal near Highway 186 and the Quechan Casino. Police had contacted him that day for a welfare check and released him; he was never heard from again. Family members have said he may have been homeless at the time.

White is described as a Caucasian male, 5 feet 9 inches, about 180 pounds, with sandy blonde hair, blue eyes, a missing front tooth and a scar on his right arm. He reportedly suffered from a mental health condition that might have caused aggressive or unpredictable behavior. He was last seen wearing black and white flower-print shorts and a black and red West Coast Chopper shirt.

Few leads have emerged and the Imperial County Sheriff’s Department continues to seek information. If anyone saw John White in May 2015 near the All American Canal or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward.
