Jeffrey Bryan Sayre was 15 when he disappeared from Westminster, California, on November 24, 1979. That evening he had gone to see the film And Justice For All with his girlfriend and her siblings; after returning to her home they watched television and Jeffrey left about 10:00 p.m. intending to take a bus to his home in Santa Ana near Main Street and Dyer Road. The buses had stopped running that night and it is believed he may have tried to hitchhike. He never arrived and was not heard from again.

Jeffrey was a sophomore at Saddleback High School and, according to his mother, had been struggling academically and thinking about leaving school early; his family said there were no signs of trouble at home and they did not believe he ran away. He left without his jacket, money, or identification, and his disappearance was classified as a non-family abduction. Investigators later considered Randy Kraft a suspect because Kraft kept a coded list that includes an entry labeled 38. Westminster Date and the last-seen location was near Kraft’s parents’ home, but no charge was filed linking Kraft to Jeffrey.

In 2021 Jeffrey was confirmed deceased after decades listed as missing; details about the discovery of his remains and the cause of death are limited and no arrests have been announced. Does anyone have information about Jeffrey’s movements that night or about sightings in the Westminster–Santa Ana area on November 24, 1979?
