Beaumont Police Ask For Help Finding Missing Man

BEAUMONT, CA — Beaumont police on Thursday asked for the public's help in finding a 54-year-old man who has been missing for nearly two weeks. Michael John Enguidanos was last seen leaving his family's home in Beaumont on Aug. 24. What's more, police say his car, keys and wallet were all found in the Whitewater area with no sign of the man.

According to Beaumont police, the Covina man was visiting family in town when he set out to visit some friends "and failed to return home as promised."

"Family members became concerned when they were unable to reach Enguidanos by telephone," police said in a news release. The family eventually reported him missing to police on Saturday.

Beaumont police say they later learned that on Friday, the CHP had spotted Enguidanos' unoccupied Honda Civic parked along Whitewater Cutoff Road and tagged it for removal. Then, on Tuesday, sheriff's officials were in the same area for a separate investigation and also spotted the Civic.

"Family members were contacted and had the vehicle retrieved, where they later recovered Enguidanos’ keys and wallet inside," Beaumont police said.

Police said there is currently "no evidence of foul play" in the man's disappearance but are asking for anyone who may have spotted Enguidanos to please contact Detective Ford of the Beaumont Police Department at 951-769-8500. Enguidanos, who is pictured above, is 5-foot-10-inches tall with brown hair.
