Michael Franz, 58, has been missing since July 23, 1998, after he disappeared from the Orange County Fair in California. He was a resident of the La Paz Geropsychiatric Center in Los Angeles and was attending the fair on a field trip with other residents when he became separated from the group and was not seen again.

Franz is described as a white male with brown hair and brown eyes, 5 feet 6 inches tall, about 120 pounds, who wears eyeglasses. He was last seen in a white t-shirt, brown pants, a red baseball cap, and shoes. Because he was mentally disabled and a dependent adult, his case is classified as Endangered Missing. The Orange County Sheriff’s Department investigated and a search of the fairgrounds area was conducted but produced no results; the case remains unsolved.

If anyone attended the fair that day or has information about where Michael might have gone after he separated from his group, please share what you know.
