Jesse Leroy Kincannon, known also as Leroy or Bud, was 75 when he left his Griggs, Oklahoma home on July 24, 1990, telling his wife he was going for a walk. He wore a light blue shirt, khaki pants, and an orange cap, and left without money or identification. What began as a routine stroll in the rural Cimarron County landscape became a disappearance: he never returned and was not seen again.

Searches by local authorities, including the Cimarron County Sheriff’s Office and later the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, turned up no sign of Jesse. Reports say there were no clear indications of foul play and no evidence he planned to leave; nonetheless, no trace was ever found and the case went cold. The family was left without answers or a place to visit.

Anyone who knew Jesse, remembers seeing him that day, or has information that might help resolve his disappearance is asked to come forward.
