The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is asking for the public’s assistance in locating 47-year-old Anthony McCabe, who was reported missing after he was last seen Sunday morning in Santa Clarita.
According to LASD, McCabe was last seen on August 23, 2026, at approximately 10:20 a.m. in the 26000 block of Canyon End Road.
Authorities say McCabe is considered at risk, prompting investigators to seek information from anyone who may have seen him or knows where he may be.
What Happened
McCabe was last seen in the Santa Clarita area at approximately 10:20 a.m. Sunday, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Investigators have released a detailed description of McCabe and the vehicle he may be traveling in as they work to determine his whereabouts.
McCabe is described as:
- 47-year-old White male
- Approximately 5 feet, 9 inches tall
- Approximately 160 pounds
- Brown hair
- Brown eyes
- Gray beard
- Last seen wearing a gray shirt, black shorts and black hat
Authorities also released information about a vehicle that may help members of the public identify him.
The vehicle is described as a 2006 Nissan Frontier with California license plate 23224L4.
Why Authorities Are Asking for Help
LASD has classified McCabe as at risk, making the search for him particularly urgent.
When someone is considered at risk, information from members of the public can be especially valuable. Residents, motorists and businesses in and around Santa Clarita may have encountered McCabe or his vehicle without realizing that authorities were searching for him.
Investigators are asking anyone who may have seen McCabe after his last known sighting to contact authorities.
Even information that may seem minor could potentially help detectives establish a timeline of his movements or determine where he may have traveled.
What Authorities Are Saying
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is asking anyone with information about McCabe’s whereabouts to contact the LASD Homicide Bureau Missing Persons Detail.
Authorities specifically asked callers to reference Detective Collinsworth when providing information about the case.
The department has not publicly released additional details about why McCabe is considered at risk or provided information about where investigators believe he may have gone.
Those details may remain limited while detectives work to locate him and establish his movements after he was last seen.
Vehicle Information
The vehicle description released by investigators could be particularly important in helping locate McCabe.
Authorities say he may be traveling in a 2006 Nissan Frontier, California license plate 23224L4.
Members of the public who see a vehicle matching that description should avoid approaching or confronting the occupant themselves. Instead, they should provide the information to authorities so investigators can determine whether it is connected to the missing-person case.
The license plate information may also help investigators distinguish the vehicle from other Nissan Frontier trucks in the area.
A Cautious View
While authorities are urging the public to remain alert, residents should avoid making assumptions about McCabe’s circumstances based solely on the fact that he has been reported missing and considered at risk. LASD has not publicly explained the specific factors behind that designation, and there is not enough information available to determine what may have happened after his last known sighting. Unverified reports or speculation on social media could also interfere with the search or create unnecessary concern.
What Happens Next
LASD detectives are continuing efforts to locate McCabe and determine his whereabouts.
Investigators are asking members of the public to review any information they may have regarding McCabe or the Nissan Frontier described by authorities.
Anyone who may have seen McCabe, encountered the vehicle or has information that could assist investigators should contact the LASD Homicide Bureau Missing Persons Detail at 323-890-5500 and reference Detective Collinsworth.
Anonymous tips can also be provided through Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477) or through the P3 Tips app.
Authorities are encouraging people to share information about the missing-person case so that more residents in the Santa Clarita area are aware of the search.

- Why authorities consider him at risk.
- Whether he is still traveling in the 2006 Nissan Frontier.

For now, LASD is asking the public to remain alert and report any information that could help detectives locate McCabe safely.
