Leland Johnson, 51, was last seen August 15, 2016, near Niland, California. He was at the 15 North airstrip inside a military bombing range collecting brass to sell as scrap and was expected to return to his camp in the Slab City community of the Niland Desert but never did. Searches of the area turned up no trace and his disappearance was reported after he failed to return.

Johnson is described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches tall, about 165 pounds, with brown hair. There is little evidence available about what happened after he was seen at the airstrip and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone saw Leland around the 15 North airstrip or in Slab City on or after August 15, 2016, or has information that could help, please share what is known.
