John Thomas Ryan, 75, is missing from Laguna Niguel, Orange County. The California Department of Justice and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office describe him as a white male, born July 24, 1950, about 6 feet tall, 180 pounds, with gray hair and green eyes.

Authorities and public bulletins give consistent clothing details: a white T-shirt, dark or light-colored shorts (reports vary), white socks, and light-colored or navy canvas slip-on shoes; some notices add a teal hat. The Sheriff’s Department issued public appeals and media coverage says search efforts continued days after he vanished.

Family members are actively seeking help and have launched a fundraising effort to support search costs and the household while John remains missing. His profile remains active in official databases and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office is the lead agency on the case.

If anyone saw John around Laguna Niguel on or after September 12, 2025, or has information about his whereabouts, can you come forward to help the family and investigators?
