Andrew Scott Ewing, age 20, was last seen on December 8, 1976, in Redding, California. He left his home on Lake Boulevard, telling his mother that he was hitchhiking to visit his brother in Sacramento. However, his brother was not expecting him, and Andrew never arrived. Before leaving, Andrew took a .357 magnum handgun with him, but left no indication of his plans. His mother reported him missing over a month later, on January 10, 1977.
Andrew, who was described as having black, thinning hair down to the middle of his back and striking blue eyes, had distinctive physical characteristics, including a scar on his forehead and a surgical scar on his right knee.
He also had undiagnosed mental health issues, which may have affected his behavior. Despite his family’s efforts and the investigation by law enforcement, Andrew’s whereabouts remain unknown.
The Redding Police Department continues to seek information about his case. Anyone with knowledge of his disappearance is encouraged to contact the authorities.Last Seen: Dec 8, 1976
