Robert James Dowd was 31 when he was last seen in La Mirada, California, on January 7, 2007. Around 11:30 a.m. he left his brother’s house to return his sister’s 2003 silver Honda Civic Del Sol and never arrived. The car was later found abandoned in the Angeles National Forest in Azusa Canyon, but Dowd was not at the scene.

His family reported him missing on January 21 after his failure to return, though they noted he sometimes disappeared for days. He’s described as 5 feet 9 inches, about 150 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes, and a tattoo reading DOWD on his upper back. He was last seen wearing a black and gray denim jacket, blue jeans, and black work boots. His disappearance is classified as endangered and the investigation has produced no confirmed leads.

If anyone in La Mirada or the Angeles National Forest area on January 7, 2007, remembers seeing Robert, the family and investigators want to hear from you.
