Brian Benjamin Hirsch was 35 when he was last seen on August 1, 2000, in Santa Cruz, California. He drove a black 1991 Ford Aerostar, California plate 3TLR809, to a local smog shop that day; the vehicle was serviced and Hirsch was never heard from again. He is described as a white male, brown hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 7 inches, about 150 pounds.

The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Department lists his case as endangered missing and states DNA is available for future identification. Very few details about his movements after the smog shop visit have been released, and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone remembers seeing Brian, his Aerostar, or has information about his whereabouts in Santa Cruz around August 1, 2000, please contact the Sheriff’s Department.
