Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP8484) and 5 other sources
Lloyd Edward Downey, a 56-year-old man from San Antonio, Texas, went missing on November 19, 1992. On that day, Downey was preparing for an appointment at the Audie Murphy Veterans Affairs Hospital for a sleep study. His wife reported that she was in another room when Downey collected his overnight bag and left their home. He planned to attend his appointment and had mentioned going fishing afterward. However, Downey never arrived at the hospital and has not been heard from since.

Downey had significant medical conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and a sleep disorder. He also had a scar on his chest from a previous triple bypass surgery. Known by the nickname "Sarge," Downey’s case has puzzled authorities, and despite the passage of time, no solid leads have emerged. Foul play is suspected in his disappearance, but no evidence has been found to conclusively determine what happened to him that night. His case remains unsolved, leaving his family and investigators with few answers.
