Details of Disappearance
Kwan was last seen in San Bernardino, California on March 27, 2022. He left his parents' home at 11:00 a.m. to go hiking in the Lake Arrowhead area and never returned. Later that day, his silver Toyota was found abandoned near Highway 138 and the Crestline cutoff point. It appeared to have struck the guardrail and sustained minor damage.
A California Highway Patrol officer had seen Kwan and another person changing a tire on that vehicle on a turnout on Highway 138 on the day of Kwan's disappearance; the officer offered to help them, but the pair refused. This was about forty minutes before the report of the accident. A man matching Kwan's description was seen running from the crash site towards the woods, carrying two large bags.
Kwan is an experienced hiker. Although police have classified hisĀ case as a simple missing person rather than a crime, his family does not believe he left voluntarily and they are concerned for his welfare. His case remains unsolved.
