Overview
- The FBI, working with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, says it is investigating Naiping Hou’s suspicious disappearance and is urging the public to submit tips.
- Hou, 74, was reported missing on May 4, 2025 after his family last saw him during a March fishing trip.
- Friends who checked his Rancho Cucamonga home found it cleared out and freshly painted with his vehicles missing.
- Authorities later identified extensive fraudulent activity in his bank accounts, and his son says more than $1 million was withdrawn as brief, out-of-character texts came from his phone.
- The family has offered a $250,000 reward and launched findnaipinghou.com to gather information that could help locate him.
