Shawn Hale was 21 when he left his Apple Valley, California, home after an argument with his mother and was last seen on November 4, 1994. He was described at the time as 6 feet tall, 165 pounds, with sandy blonde hair, hazel eyes, and a mustache and goatee. After he stormed out that day there has been no contact or confirmed trace of him.

His disappearance is classified as endangered missing. Initial searches concentrated locally, and the case was later entered into national missing persons databases. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department continues to investigate, and Shawn’s family—especially his brother—has followed leads over the years, including a sighting that proved inconclusive. Little to no substantial progress has been reported.

Anyone who knew Shawn or who has information about his whereabouts is asked to contact the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office.
