The city of Santa Clarita is offering a $10,000 reward in exchange for information leading to the apprehension and/or conviction of the person or people responsible for the disappearance of Santa Clarita resident William Cierzan who has been missing since January.

William, a resident of Santa Clarita, went missing on the afternoon of Thursday, January 26, 2017, at approximately 4:00 p.m. His wife, Linda, spoke with him by phone that afternoon at about 4 pm while he was home cooking dinner. When Linda arrived home later that evening at around 7 pm, she noticed he was gone but his vehicle, wallet, and cellphone were left behind. Later that evening, Linda Cierzan filed a missing person report with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. Surveillance video showed a vehicle, which did not belong to William or Linda Cierzan, pulling up to the home around 5:00 p.m. that evening.

Deputies from Santa Clarita Valley Station were called to conduct a missing person investigation. Investigators later found blood inside the residence during a walk through.

William who is an employee of Magic Mountain enjoys the comfort of being at home with his family, enjoys an occasional round of golf and collects Coca-Cola memorabilia. His family is heartbroken that he has been missing for this length of time and would like him brought home safely.

City of Santa Clarita is offering the $10,000 reward in hopes that a person(s) will come forth with any valuable information that may lead to details in the disappearance and current whereabouts of William Cierzan.

A press conference was held on Wednesday, February 1, 2017, asking for the public’s assistance with information regarding the disappearance of 58 year-old William Cierzan. To view the Press Conference, click on this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIiVZUfON9k.
