Scott Luther Ditchfield, 61, was last seen in Lancaster, California, on November 11, 2020. A resident of California City at the time, he is described as 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing between 250 and 320 pounds, with gray hair and green eyes. Concerns were raised that he may have been confused and in need of medical attention; while not homeless, he may have been living on the streets or in a shelter after he disappeared.

Few specifics about his movements that day have been released. Online posts have claimed that skeletal remains found in a Lancaster field in August 2023 were identified as Scott, citing an NamUs number MP76609 and medical examiner information, but as of early 2026 no official confirmation from law enforcement or major news outlets has been published. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office remains the investigating agency.

Does anyone have verified information about Scott’s whereabouts after November 11, 2020, or contact with him before he vanished?
