A local Los Angeles community is rallying support, and concern is mounting as friends, relatives, and the LAPD urgently seek public assistance in the case of 65-year-old Dennis Bolton, who disappeared on the morning of November 13, 2025. Bolton, who was last seen around 9 a.m. near the 5080 block of Obama Boulevard after leaving his workplace, is described as a male with gray hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 9 inches in height, and weighing approximately 180 pounds; he was wearing a black crew-neck shirt, dark gray pants, and a black "Ralphs" apron when he vanished, signals a public bulletin from the LAPD.
The situation's gravity is heightened by Bolton's health conditions; he suffers from lower mental capacity, schizophrenia, seizures, diabetes, and high blood pressure, and on the day he went missing, Bolton appeared lethargic. His family has voiced deep concerns for his safety because these medical conditions require consistent management, which bolsters the urgency in finding him. In an announcement shared by the Los Angeles Police Department's 77th Street Area, Bolton's loved ones and law enforcement call upon anyone with information to step forward, aiding in the search for the missing man.
To galvanize community involvement, the LA regional Crime Stoppers is providing a platform for anonymous tips and has encouraged individuals to come forward with any details, no matter how seemingly minor. The LAPD has made available several means of communication, including the 77th St Area Watch Commander at (323) 786-5077 for immediate queries and 1-877-LAPD-24-7 for after-hours or weekend calls; action can be taken right through to downloading the "P3 Tips" mobile application, selecting the L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers, and submitting information that way.
As this story unfolds, the collective seeking of Dennis Bolton remains earnest, emblematic of a city's united effort in times of individual crisis, there is a palpable shared hope that any shred of information provided by the public will light a path to Bolton's whereabouts, piecing together the moments from his last known steps on Obama Boulevard to his current, unknown location. The ongoing search for the missing man underscores the value placed on every community member and the lengths to which we go when one of our own is lost in the fray, to bring them home.
