Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9913) and 6 other sources
Barre Kallan Monigold, 23 years old at the time, was last seen on June 17, 1979, in Tyler, Texas. He had been out on a date that evening and returned to a friend's apartment complex on Old Bullard Road. After falling asleep in the apartment, he was woken up around 1:00 a.m. to be informed that the dome light of his car, a blue 1978 Monte Carlo, had been left on. Monigold went outside to turn off the light but never returned. His friend, who could see the parking lot from the apartment's kitchen, did not hear any unusual sounds or disturbances. When the friend went outside to check, Monigold was gone, and the car door was found unlocked with no sign of a struggle.

Monigold left behind all his personal belongings, including his clothing and money. Despite extensive investigations, including rumors that he might have fled to Jamaica or was a victim of foul play, no concrete evidence has emerged. There were even reports suggesting he may have been murdered and buried in a construction site, but these claims were never substantiated. The case remains unsolved after decades, with various theories but no definitive answers.

Monigold’s disappearance continues to puzzle investigators, as he had no known reason to leave voluntarily. Authorities are still encouraging anyone with information to come forward to help solve this long-standing mystery.
