- Details of Disappearance:
- Four men – Sauta, his brother-in-law Dan Nguyen, and their friends Johnson Nguyen and Tony Sysavanh – vanished in May 2017. They rented a silver 2015 Jeep Cherokee (license plate 7UGP903) and left Southern California on May 15th. They were heading north, possibly to pick up something, find farm work, or look at land, but their exact plans are unknown.
Sauta called his wife on May 16th to say they’d arrived, near Barry Creek. Their phones were used in Stockton a couple of days later, but their last known location was Trinity County, California. The Jeep is still missing, and police suspect foul play. The case remains unsolved.
