William Herbert Pear, 42, was last seen on August 6, 1985, leaving his job as a chef at the Great American Fish Company in Morro Bay, California. He told others he was traveling to Long Beach with someone and expected to be back the next day, but he never returned and has not been heard from since.

All of Pear’s personal belongings were left behind. He was about 5 feet 11 inches tall, roughly 210 pounds, with brown hair, hazel eyes, sideburns and a mustache. There is speculation he may have tried to hitchhike to Long Beach or San Diego, but the Morro Bay Police Department has reported no leads and the case remains an open investigation.

Does anyone remember William, the route between Morro Bay and Long Beach in August 1985, or have information that could help explain his disappearance?
