Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP107285) and 3 other sources
Pershing Allen Lewis, a 64-year-old man, was last seen on January 22, 1983, leaving his residence in Ventura, California. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a Caucasian male with brown hair, green eyes, standing 5'7" tall and weighing approximately 180 pounds. He also had a tattoo of a ship on his left forearm and was known to wear eyeglasses. Despite extensive efforts, little information has surfaced regarding his whereabouts, and his case remains unsolved.

Lewis had relatives in Michigan, but there is no indication of where he may have gone after leaving his home. Authorities, including the Ventura Police Department, continue to investigate his disappearance, though the case has seen few developments since 1983. His case is listed in various missing persons databases, but no substantial leads have been reported.

The lack of details surrounding his disappearance adds to the challenge of resolving this decades-old case. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Ventura Police Department.
