Barry Butler O’Brien, 33, was last seen February 1, 1992, in Ben Lomond, California. A self-employed woodcutter who lived a transient lifestyle, he often stayed in his vehicle and did not have a permanent address. His last known residence was in the Boulder Creek area and he frequented the San Lorenzo Valley; he had mentioned possibly traveling to Oregon before he disappeared.

Barry is described as a Caucasian male with brown hair and green eyes, 6 feet 2 inches tall and about 190 pounds. Distinguishing marks include a bullet wound scar on one knee, a scar on his right wrist and a tattoo of the letter B on his right forearm. He may have used the alias Barry Fowler and was known by the nickname Jewels. Very few details have surfaced about what happened after February 1, 1992; the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Department is investigating.

If anyone knew Barry, saw him in the San Lorenzo Valley or Boulder Creek area, or has information about travel he may have taken toward Oregon, please share what is known.
