Valentin Kaloustov was 64 when he was last seen at his home in Ceres, California, on February 3, 1999, two days before his 65th birthday. He has not been heard from since and the circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear.

At the time he went missing he was described as 5 feet 4 inches tall, 110 pounds, with gray hair. He was last seen wearing brown sport slacks, a beige sweater, large-framed glasses, and a black wool hat with red designs. Some of his clothing may have had Russian markings; he was of Russian descent. Few significant leads have emerged and his case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Valentin, his routines, associates, or saw him in Ceres around early February 1999, the Ceres Police Department asks for information.
