Brian Eric Carlstrom, 26, was last seen August 9, 1986, in Helendale, California, while staying at a friend’s home in the Silver Lakes community. He told people he planned to drive to Las Vegas that morning. There was a possible sighting at the Saddle West Casino in Pahrump, Nevada, the same day, but he never reached his destination and made no further contact.

On September 14, 1986, Carlstrom’s maroon and white 1978 Ford F-150 was located abandoned in a remote desert area about 20 miles north of Pahrump. The truck appeared to have been left recently and still contained his personal belongings, but there was no sign of him. At the time he disappeared he was involved in a multi-million-dollar personal injury lawsuit, a detail that has complicated the inquiry.

His whereabouts remain unknown despite searches and investigation. If anyone knew Brian, saw him around August 9, 1986, or has information about the truck or the remote area north of Pahrump, please share what is known.
