Lamberg is described as 6’5”, 200 pounds with sandy blond hair and blue eyes and has been missing since May 29 when he was last seen in Laytonville, California. His 2004 Honda Odyssey was later found abandoned 20 miles west of Willits on June 1. The investigation is ongoing and the Sheriff’s Department requests anyone with information to call 707-463-4086.
