Graydon Henry Burnam, 59, was last seen the evening of June 20, 1987, leaving his Big Bend Road home in the Yankee Hill area near Oroville, California. A friend checked the house on June 29 and found it locked and empty; Burnam was then reported missing. Some of his clothing and other personal items were later found scattered in a nearby wooded area, but there has been no confirmed information about his movements after he left home.

Burnam is described as 6 feet 2 inches, 190 pounds, with gray hair and blue eyes. He was last known to be wearing a digital wristwatch. The Butte County Sheriff’s Office lists the case as open and has said foul play has not been ruled out. Very little is known about what happened during the nine days between his disappearance and the discovery of his empty house.

If anyone saw Graydon Burnam around June 20–29, 1987, or can help explain the scattered belongings in the woods, please contact the Butte County Sheriff’s Office with any information.
