Bill Edward Paulson was 27 when he was last seen in Lancaster, California, on March 31, 1985. He was not reported missing until August 1985, several months after his last confirmed sighting, and his case has been classified as endangered. Authorities describe his disappearance as suspicious and foul play is strongly suspected, though no concrete evidence of homicide has been made public.

Paulson was living in Fontana at the time he vanished. He was 5 feet 11 inches tall, about 154 pounds, and had several distinctive tattoos: Love across his left knuckles, a panther on his left arm, and PAT inside his right calf. Details about his last movements are sparse and the case has seen no major developments in the nearly four decades since.

Anyone who knew Bill, saw him in Lancaster or Fontana around late March 1985, or has information that might help investigators is asked to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
