I’m reaching out for help finding my son, Nihar Mehta, who has been missing since June 3, 2023, from Orange, California.


Nihar was last seen around 3:00 AM on June 3, on CCTV footage at 1440 West Taft Avenue with another individual. That person later claimed he left Nihar at a Walmart parking lot in Covina, but since then, there have been no confirmed sightings and no communication from Nihar.


He is 6'3", 225 lbs, Indian-American, with a scar on his left ear. He may also go by the nickname “Mars”, and had shown interest in spirituality and self-discovery prior to his disappearance.


His phone has been off since June 3, and his car was found abandoned in Placentia, CA. There has been no known activity on any of his social media or financial accounts. His disappearance is being treated seriously by the Orange Police Department.


If you have seen or heard anything, no matter how small or uncertain, please reach out to:


  • Detective Benjamin Gilchrist, Orange PD at (714) 744-7444
  • Submit an anonymous tip at MissingInOrangeCounty.com or call 866-591-6950

We are attaching his missing poster. Please share, comment, and upvote to help us reach more people. Someone out there knows something, and we are doing everything we can to bring Nihar home.


Thank you so much for your help.

Nihar Mehta was last seen at his company’s warehouse at 1440 W. Taft Ave. on June 3, 2023, according to his family. The Ohio State University undergrad had been shuttling back and forth to California and was on the verge of forming his business when he abruptly disappeared.

''Manuel “Manny” Chavez Zamudio is seen in an image provided by the Orange Police Department.
Police want to talk to Zamudio, who stands 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs about 250 pounds, but have been unable to locate him.

Police said Zamudio also has a Metallica tattoo on his left inner forearm and was likely the last person to have seen Nihar.
''

''Police also announced a $10,000 reward in the case and revealed there is a person of interest in the case, identified as 43-year-old Manuel “Manny” Chavez Zamudio, who worked with Nihar on some of his projects.'
 
Police have released details about Mehta’s assistant, Manuel “Manny” Chavez Zamudio, who is a “person of interest” they believe could help with tracking down Mehta. Mehta’s family last spoke with Zamudio in August of 2023 and have not been able to contact him.


 
Just a thought, but considering that "Manny" has a Metallica tattoo, he may be a big enough fan to turn up at one of their forthcoming shows, fwiw, speculation, imo.
 

The family of a missing man is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to his whereabouts, nearly two years after they last spoke with him.

The family of Nihar Mehta, who is now 24 years old, held a press conference Thursday alongside police, who have named a person of interest in the case.
