John Rafferty was 30 when he was last seen after leaving Dallas, Texas, on May 1, 1979. He is described as 5 feet 7 inches and about 125 pounds with brown hair.

Reports place Rafferty later in Los Angeles, where he is said to have sought treatment for injuries after a mugging at UCLA Medical Center sometime between 1980 and 1981. Unconfirmed accounts say he may have done odd jobs for cash — landscaping, rug cleaning, or carpentry — while in the area. His case is listed in NamUs, but no substantial leads have emerged and his whereabouts remain unknown.

Does anyone have information about Rafferty’s time in Los Angeles or recall seeing him after May 1, 1979?
