Updated on Sunday, April 3, 2011 at 0:25 by Jeff Lehman

Evgeniy "Eugene" Lushevskiy is an immigrant from Uzbekistan who came to the United States in 1998.

Eugene, 19 years old at the time, was last seen on Sunday October 31, 2004 when he left to go hiking somewhere in the foothills or mountains north of Claremont. A storm front with an unseasonably early snowfall came in that night. He was reported missing to Claremont PD on Tuesday November 2, 2004.   
On Friday November 5, 2004 evidence was discovered that Eugene was dropped off in Mt. Baldy, at the Sierra Hut Trailhead, on the night of October 31st to begin a hike to the summit of Mt. Baldy. The Chino Hills Sheriff’s Station initiated a Search and Rescue mission based upon this information. West Valley Search and Rescue (WVSAR) began a hasty search of the mountain trails that night. The search quickly expanded to a county-wide and then state-wide call for alpine-qualified searchers.
