Tom Peterman IV, 37, was last seen on April 1, 2020, in Niland, California. Originally from Kentucky, he had ties to Niland and to the nearby off-the-grid community of Slab City, where he was known to travel frequently. His family’s last contact with him was in early April 2020, and no further trace of him has been found.

Peterman is described as 5 feet 5 inches, with red/auburn hair and blue eyes. He has several distinctive tattoos: a cross on his back, a picture of his son on his left shoulder, and Hitman on his right arm. His family remains deeply concerned and has continued searching.

No significant leads have been reported since his last sighting. If anyone has information about his whereabouts or remembers seeing him around Niland or Slab City in early April 2020, please contact the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office.
