Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP5127) and 4 other sources
Dennis Lee Brown, a 43-year-old man from North Fort Myers, Florida, was last seen on November 24, 1983. On the day of his disappearance, Dennis left a note on the door of his home on Slater Road, indicating that he was running an errand and would return soon. However, he never came back, and neither he nor his vehicle, a green 1973 Ford LTD sedan, have been seen since.

Dennis was described as being 5'11", weighing around 190 pounds, with black hair, gray sideburns, and hazel eyes. He wore upper and lower dentures and was known to have previously fractured his collarbone. At the time of his disappearance, he was reportedly content with his life, running his own business and raising two children.

Given the circumstances, authorities suspect foul play in his case. Despite ongoing investigations, Dennis remains missing, and his case is classified as endangered. If you have any information regarding his disappearance, the Lee County Sheriff's Office continues to seek tips that could lead to new developments.

Last Seen: Nov 24, 1984
