Lead #3

Why was Boiciuc seen in Los Angeles when his family and medical providers expected him to remain in the Riverside area?

Mihai Boiciuc, a 38-year-old man, disappeared on March 2, 1999, after taking a morning walk on Lincoln Avenue in Riverside, California. He was last seen at 6:00 AM but a nurse reported spotting him near 6th and Hill in Los Angeles at 8:30 AM that same day, suggesting possible movement away from his home. Despite searches of local hospitals and strip malls, and no contact from his family in Ukraine for over two decades, the circumstances of his disappearance remain unexplained and warrant continued investigation.
