John Clifton Butler, 48, was reported missing on September 16, 1999, from Santa Monica, California. He was last seen in 1994 living on the streets of Santa Monica, but family did not report him missing until years later when they could not contact him after his father’s death left him a substantial inheritance.

Butler had a history of paranoid schizophrenia and had been in and out of mental health institutions in California and Oregon before his disappearance. Investigators searched hospitals and care facilities but have not located him. Authorities have his fingerprints on file but do not have DNA or dental records, which complicates later identification.

Does anyone who knew John on the streets of Santa Monica in the 1990s or who worked in local care facilities have information that could help locate him?
