Detailed Case Breakdown

Lawrence Anthony Feeley Disappeared From Hollywood, California in 1975 — More Than 50 Years Later, His Case Remains Unsolved

Lawrence Anthony “Larry” Feeley was 25 years old when he disappeared from the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, California, on or around August 1, 1975. More than half a century later, there is still no publicly reported resolution explaining where Feeley went or what happened to him.

Brief Case Summary

Last seen: On or around August 1, 1975
Location: Hollywood area of Los Angeles, California
Age when missing: 25
NamUs: MP114050
Doe Network: 6814DMCA
LAPD case number: 76250115

Main circumstances: Feeley reportedly spoke with his sister on August 1, 1975. After that date, he had no known contact with his family or friends. Publicly available information does not establish what he was doing immediately before he vanished, where precisely in Hollywood he was last seen, or what caused his disappearance. His whereabouts remain unknown.

Who Was Lawrence “Larry” Feeley?

Lawrence Anthony Feeley was born in 1950 and was the son of Lawrence M. Feeley and Lola Lee Staples Feeley. He grew up with several siblings in Sherman Oaks, California. Feeley attended Notre Dame High School and graduated with the class of 1968. He enjoyed singing and participated in his high school’s choir.

After graduating from high school, Feeley moved to Hollywood. By 1975, he was 25 years old and living in the Los Angeles area when communication with his family abruptly stopped.

The Disappearance of Lawrence Anthony Feeley

Feeley’s disappearance is remarkable for how little information has become publicly available during the decades since he vanished.

According to the published case information, Feeley disappeared on or around August 1, 1975, from Hollywood. He reportedly spoke with his sister that day. Afterward, there was no known contact between Feeley and his friends or family.

There is no publicly documented account establishing where in Hollywood Feeley was when he disappeared, who may have seen him immediately beforehand, what clothing he was wearing, whether he was traveling somewhere, or whether a vehicle was connected to his disappearance.

The absence of those details leaves one of the most fundamental questions in the case unanswered: what happened after Feeley’s reported final conversation with his sister?

Lawrence Feeley’s Physical Description

Feeley was described as a white male approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall with a medium build. He had brown hair and green eyes. A birthmark on his chest could potentially serve as an identifying characteristic.

Because Feeley was only 25 when he disappeared in 1975, any investigation today must account for the extraordinary amount of time that has passed. He would now be in his mid-70s if alive.

A Cold Case With Few Publicly Known Clues

No publicly available evidence reviewed for this article establishes that Feeley was the victim of a homicide, accident, suicide, or voluntary disappearance. Those possibilities should therefore not be presented as established facts.

What is known is much narrower: Feeley was reportedly in contact with his sister on August 1, 1975, and subsequently stopped communicating with the people who knew him. His family has sought answers concerning his whereabouts.

The limited public record is especially significant in a disappearance dating to the 1970s. Modern investigators can use national missing-person databases, digital record searches, DNA comparisons, forensic genealogy and computerized comparisons with unidentified remains—resources that were unavailable when Feeley vanished.

Renewed Attention to the Case

Feeley’s disappearance has gained additional public visibility in recent years. An Underground Mysteries article published in January 2024 documented his disappearance, background, physical characteristics and law-enforcement case number. The case has also generated discussion on Websleuths, where it is identified by NamUs number MP114050.

A particularly important development occurred in 2025, when the Doe Network added Lawrence Anthony Feeley to its missing-person database as case 6814DMCA. The organization’s update log identifies him as missing from California since 1975.

That listing matters because organizations focused on missing and unidentified people can increase the visibility of decades-old cases and create additional opportunities for comparisons with unidentified-person cases.

Latest Publicly Available Investigation Information

As of September 2026, Feeley’s case remains publicly represented as an unresolved missing-person case. The most significant recent publicly documented development located during research was his addition to the Doe Network in 2025 as 6814DMCA.

The Doe Network’s 2026 update records include numerous newly solved, identified and updated cases, but the material reviewed does not show Feeley among its closed cases or identify a resolution of his disappearance. That supports describing the case as unresolved rather than claiming that investigators have determined what happened to him.

The Los Angeles Police Department remains the law-enforcement agency associated with the case in published information. A 2024 case profile directed anyone with information to LAPD and identified Detective Molly Beall and case number 76250115. Because individual detective assignments can change over time, callers should provide Feeley’s full name and case number when contacting LAPD. LAPD’s current official contact information lists 1-877-ASK-LAPD (1-877-275-5273) for non-emergency police contact.

Why Lawrence Feeley’s Case Still Matters

More than 50 years have passed since Lawrence Anthony Feeley disappeared, but the passage of time does not necessarily eliminate the possibility of finding answers.

Someone who knew Feeley in Sherman Oaks, attended Notre Dame High School with him, sang with him in choir, knew him after he moved to Hollywood, or encountered him during the summer of 1975 could possess information that once seemed insignificant. Even seemingly minor memories—where he lived, where he worked, people he associated with, places he regularly visited, or plans he discussed—could help reconstruct the missing portions of his timeline.

Likewise, advances in DNA identification and forensic genealogy have changed what is possible in long-term missing-person investigations. Cases once considered nearly impossible to resolve can sometimes be revisited when old records, family DNA and unidentified-remains cases are compared using modern methods.

Lawrence “Larry” Anthony Feeley was a young man with a family, siblings, classmates and a life before his disappearance. More than five decades later, the central question remains the same: What happened to Lawrence Feeley after August 1, 1975?

Anyone with credible information should contact the Los Angeles Police Department and reference Lawrence Anthony Feeley and case number 76250115.
