Authorities in a Northern California county announced Tuesday that they have located the vehicle of an Orange County man who has been missing since June.
The Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office said the Anaheim man, known only as Kojoe, was last seen on June 26. Officers said Kojoe planned to go to Yosemite National Park and planned to return three days later.
Kojoe has not been heard or seen since. Attempts by his family to call his phone went straight to voicemail.
On August 16, the California Highway Patrol found Kojoe’s black 2009 Infiniti M35 sedan in a rural part of Mendocino County, more than 200 miles from Yosemite. The vehicle was found along Highway 128 near the town of Navarro, a few miles east of the Paul Dimmick Campground.
Authorities searched Kojoe in the area several times, but he was not found. The case is still under investigation.
Kojoe is described as a 59-year-old African American man, approximately 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 170 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office at 707-463-4086 or call the agency’s tip line at 707-234-2100.
