Lorenzo James Uribe was 19 when he was last seen in Baker, California, on June 21, 2020, at about 1:00 a.m. He left in a gray Kia Optima; the car was later found abandoned in Nipton, California, roughly 195 miles from his home. Lorenzo hadn’t been heard from after that and his sudden disappearance was described as highly unusual by his family.

He’s described as 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall, 220 to 230 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes and a full beard. At the time he was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, a gray shirt, black Dickies pants, black Nike shoes and eyeglasses. He is of Mexican descent.

Few details have emerged since his disappearance and the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department continues to investigate. Anyone who saw Lorenzo, his vehicle, or has other information from the Baker–Nipton area on or after June 21, 2020, is asked to contact investigators.
