Bumping up for Paul. I wonder what are the circumstances surrounding him going missing? I also wonder if there were any newspaper articles about his disappearance, searches, etc. back then.

I believe this is his father's obituary from 2008. His mother is 90 and lives in Novato, found no obituary for her. He has two brothers who live in Marin County.

On the California birth index, there is a Paul Michel with the same birth date as listed on the missing report, and mother's maiden name as on the obituary. He was born in Los Angeles County.
