Seventeen-year-old David Yeager disappeared from Shreveport, Louisiana, in February 1971 after leaving his home on Lola Lane to attend an event at Centenary College. He was last seen in the 2600 block of Lola Lane and may have intended to hitchhike the long distance to campus. At the time he was believed to be wearing an off-white shirt and dark-colored pants; his senior class ring remained at home and his bank account with about $200 was never touched.

David was a high school senior at C.E. Byrd High School who participated in the library club, history club, and debate team. His family says he had no reason to run away. A few months after his disappearance a teenage girl reported seeing someone she thought was David in a park who said he was living in another Louisiana city, but the family found that sighting not credible. The Shreveport Police Department still lists the case open and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children is involved; the family has submitted DNA to national databases and keeps the case public via social media.

What did anyone in Shreveport see that winter day in 1971, or does anyone have information about David’s movements after he left Lola Lane?
