Buddy Rogers, 70, of the small community of Mittie in Allen Parish, Louisiana, was last seen in the general area of Oberlin in late summer 2009 and was officially reported missing on October 5, 2009. He was a familiar local figure who walked everywhere and did not drive. At the time he disappeared he was described as a white male, 5 feet 9 inches tall, 170–190 pounds, with gray or partially gray hair and hazel eyes. Clothing at the time of disappearance has not been widely reported.

His reliance on walking as his sole mode of transportation is a central detail: he simply vanished from the area where he was usually seen, and the circumstances remain vague. The Allen Parish Sheriff’s Office holds the case file; the LSU FACES Laboratory and the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System list his information. No resolution has been reported.

If anyone in the Oberlin or Mittie area remembers seeing Buddy in 2009 or has information about his movements that summer, please share what you know.
