Frederick Cecil McLean, 54, was last seen June 1, 2005, in Winchester, California, after an extensive manhunt began following numerous allegations of child sexual abuse. He had an active arrest warrant on multiple counts of molestation and reportedly fled Southern California when he learned law enforcement was closing in. Authorities believed he had access to substantial financial resources that helped him evade capture and establish a new life under an alias.

McLean was placed on the U.S. Marshals’ list of 15 Most Wanted Fugitives. Despite years of searching, he remained at large for over 16 years. In November 2021 his remains were found in a residence in Seneca, South Carolina; investigators determined he died of natural causes and confirmed his identity through forensic methods, closing the disappearance.

If anyone had contact with McLean after June 1, 2005, or information about his movements before he left California, please share what is known.
