Carl Reed Missing Person Case

Carl Kenneth Reed, a 46-year-old man, was last seen on January 1, 1975, in Riverside, California. At the time of his disappearance, Reed had traveled from his home state of Michigan to visit his daughter in Riverside. It is unclear whether he successfully made it to his daughter’s residence, and he has not been seen or heard from since. His disappearance was officially recorded in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) under case number MP34322.

Reed is described as a white male, standing 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 160 pounds. He had black hair, blue eyes, and had undergone cataract surgery. On the day of his disappearance, it is believed that he may have been wearing khaki pants, a short-sleeved dress shirt, and black dress shoes.

Despite the passage of time, Reed's case remains unsolved, and there is little public information regarding his disappearance. The Riverside Police Department continues to seek any leads or information that might help solve this decades-old case.
