Wade Andrew Borthwick, 45, was last seen on February 15, 2003, in Redding, California. At the time he had been living on the streets in the area and was in occasional contact with family, but relatives stopped hearing from him after early 2003. He was described as 5 feet 7 inches and about 130 pounds, with light brown graying hair, blue eyes, reading glasses, a scar on his left wrist and a birthmark on his upper back. Wade had a history of health issues, though the exact nature of those conditions is not disclosed.

Investigators say there is no indication of foul play and have suggested he may have sought help at food banks or missions; he may also have traveled to southern California or Oregon. The Redding Police Department lists the case as open and continues to investigate. If anyone remembers seeing Wade, knows where he spent time, or has information that could help, please share what you know.
