Shannon Humphreys, 53, of Watsonville was last seen on September 6, 2018, at his residence near Freedom Boulevard and Corralitos Road. His disappearance is classed as suspicious by the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office because family and friends say it was highly uncharacteristic for him to be out of contact.

Humphreys is a 6 feet tall Caucasian man, about 200 pounds, with white hair and brown eyes. He was reportedly wearing a dark blue hooded sweatshirt, shorts, and sneakers. He left home without his car, wallet, or cell phone, and — unusually — left behind his dog Sampson, whom he reportedly took everywhere. The only item believed to have been with him was his house key; his mode of transportation is unknown. He had worked eight years at Moore and Sons motorcycle shop and was an avid motocross racer.

If anyone saw Shannon around September 6, 2018, or has information about his movements or whereabouts, please contact the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office.
