Larry Duane Schafer, 34, vanished on or around March 14, 1982, while hiking in Ice Canyon in the Mount Baldy area of the San Gabriel Mountains, Los Angeles County. He planned to climb Cucamonga Peak and then the 10,064‑foot summit of Mount Baldy. His vehicle was left at the Ice House Canyon Lodge parking lot and he failed to return to his birthday party that day.

An experienced hiker who had explored the San Gabriels since about age eight, Schafer was believed to have been carrying a blue down jacket, size 13 hiking boots, a green sleeping bag, an orange backpack and full climbing and camping gear. Searches began immediately but were curtailed by severe winter weather, avalanche hazards, and high winds; an extensive three‑day search turned up no trace. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department sought family DNA, fingerprints and dental or medical records, but no identifying remains or material evidence have been found.

Larry Schafer remains missing and his case is still listed in national cold case databases. Did anyone who was hiking or driving near Ice House or Ice Canyon around March 14, 1982, see anything that could help locate him?
