In the late afternoon of September 8, 2026, 40-year-old Larry Lam Nguyen, a resident of San Jose, California, vanished under perplexing circumstances. His last known location was the parking lot at Mt. Hamilton/Grand Lake in San Jose, where he was reportedly dropped off at approximately 4:00 PM. Information that surfaced after his disappearance suggests that he had arranged for an Uber to take him home, but then paid the driver in cash to instead be taken to the park. At the time he went missing, Nguyen was carrying a black backpack and was dressed in all black clothing.
Concern for Larry Lam Nguyen's welfare grew as time passed without any contact from him. The San Jose Police Department is the primary agency investigating his disappearance, and they have been provided with these details. The area where he was last seen, Joseph D. Grant County Park, which includes Mt. Hamilton and Grant Lake, is a vast expanse of land, which could present challenges for search efforts.
Family members have been active in seeking information and raising awareness about his case.
The official record from the California Department of Justice lists Larry Lam Nguyen as a missing person, noting his date of last contact as September 8, 2026. He is described as a Vietnamese male, 5'11" tall, and weighing 160 pounds, with brown hair and black eyes. The investigation into his disappearance is ongoing, with the San Jose Police Department handling the case under number 262530675. The circumstances surrounding his decision to go to the park instead of his home remain a central and unanswered question in this troubling case.Last Seen: Sep 8, 2026
