I’m pretty sure this is him. Someone correct me if I’m wrong! All of his missing profile pics look altered or enhanced to me: 1966/1967 South High School, Torrance CA

When I googled "Patrick Albert Wright" missing, I found a couple of websites that provide a more detailed account of the family's arrival in SF, and describe Patrick as a "vulnerable, highly endangered adult," adding that he was "battling mental illness."

However, the websites are not MSM so I won't link them here. But to anyone with a newspapers.com account, might there be confirmation of this in any articles?

He was ruled out as a match of Long Beach John Doe (eventually identified as Kenneth Williams). I wonder if he was one of Kraft's victims. It's also interesting to note the number of missing males in San Francisco during 1970s and 1980s.

He's my uncle. I can confirm that all his missing profile pics are enhanced, but accurate — they're from an old family album from the early 70s. He did go to Torrance High (along with his 4 siblings), but these pics don't look like any I've ever seen of him.

He's my uncle. I can confirm this about his mental health instability. My family often wonders if perhaps he got into an altercation and was killed, or maybe he simply had a psychotic break and couldn't find his way home. It haunts them.
