Edward Charles Champagne Jr., 20, was last seen by his family in Los Angeles on December 1, 1979. He was wearing a black leather jacket and blue jeans, stood 5 feet 10 inches, and weighed about 135 pounds; he had sandy blonde hair and hazel eyes. At the time he did not own a vehicle.

Details about what happened that day are sparse. The family later received a report that Edward may have been involved in a fatal car accident in 1985, but no official verification of that claim has been located. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department continues to handle the investigation, and the disappearance remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Edward, saw him around December 1979, or has information about the unverified 1985 report, please come forward.
