A California man was last seen in March. His family says he was likely kidnapped.
Authorities in California are still searching for a 74-year-old man who has been missing for four months. His family believes he may have been kidnapped. Naiping Hou lives in Rancho Cucamonga and was last seen on March 18, his family said on a website created after he went missing. His family first reported him missing on May 4, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said in a July 7 press release. The day his family reported him missing on May 4, investigators went to his home for a welfare check, his family said on the missing person's website. Investigators did not find him, but 'evidence indicated Naiping may have been kidnapped,' his family wrote. Here's what's known so far about his case. Police: Fraudelent transactions found in missing man's account The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department shared an update on Hou's case on July 9 in hopes of generating new leads. According to detectives, they found 'extensive fraudulent transactions' that were conducted around the time the man went missing. They also think someone impersonated him using his cell phone to communicate with his family members. Investigators said they are looking for information about a silver Toyota Yaris in connection to his disappearance. Investigators did not immediately respond to requests for more information on July 21. Family: $1M in retirement savings was wiped from man's account According to his family, there have been unauthorized sales of his vehicles, items gifted, and someone tried to rent his home. His family added that based on evidence found, those connected to his alleged kidnapping may have ties to Los Angeles and the Inland Empire, a metro area east of Los Angeles County, centered around Riverside and San Bernardino. 'The suspects are believed to be using sophisticated and deceptive tactics and are considered highly dangerous,' Hou's family wrote. His son, Wen Hou, also created a video shared to the family's site to ask for help finding his father. 'It took six weeks to discover my father was missing and the reason why it took so long is because whoever took him used his phone to impersonate him,' his son said. 'They drained about $1 million from my dad's bank account. That was all his retirement savings. We're very devastated and we're deeply concerned for his safety." What we know about missing man Naiping Hou Originally from China, Hou is a husband, father, and grandfather who has lived in the Rancho Cucamonga area for the past 20 years, his family said. His family said he was in 'semi-retirement' when he went missing, and likes to spend time woodworking, playing ping pong at a local recreation center, and staying active in his community. Hou's family said he stands at 5-foot-7, weighs 170 pounds, has gray hair (possibly dyed brown or black), and dark brown eyes. They noted he has a birthmark on his left upper shoulder and a surgery scar on his lower back. His family said there is a $250,000 reward being offered for information that leads to Hou's safe return, or the identification, arrest, and conviction of the people responsible. Authorities ask that anyone with information contact Det. Vanayes Quezada of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department's Specialized Investigations Division at (909) 890-4848.
