The Disappearance of Kenneth Byram, November 1979

Kenneth Byram, 24, was last seen in Los Angeles, LA County, CA in 1979, possibly in November. Because the exact date of his disappearance is unknown, November 1, 1979 is used as a placeholder by all sources. Very little information is available in his case.

Kenneth is a white male with green eyes and blond/strawberry hair. At the time of his disappearance he was 24 years old, 6'2, and 150 lbs. If alive today he would be 70 years old. Based on the aforementioned ages, Kenneth's date of birth may have been between November 2, 1954 and September 11, 1955. 

There are very, very few details available regarding Kenneth's disappearance. The only source really is NamUs; all other references to him online cite NamUs as the source of all of its information. Based on the agency case number, it is likely/possible that Kenneth wasn't reported missing until sometime in 1983. 

While nineteen UIDs are listed in the exclusion section of Kenneth's NamUs page, one of these is in fact a repeat. In reality there are 18 distinct rule-outs, including Churchill County, NV John Doe 1980.

Based on the information available for some of the rule-outs on his list, Kenneth's DNA and/or dentals may be available for comparison. His NamUs page, #MP24274, was created April 17, 2014 and last updated December 14, 2021.

Anyone with information regarding Kenneth is urged to contact the LAPD's Adult Missing Persons Unit at (877) 275-5273. The agency case number is 83-9909223. Any little piece of information counts.
