Gary Lee McConnell, 72, was last seen on July 20, 2017, in Joplin, Missouri. He is described as a white male with white hair, 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 140 pounds. Concern grew that summer when he did not return and a missing person report was filed with the Joplin Police Department on August 10, 2017.

Investigators believed Gary may have been traveling with 70-year-old Laura McMillen in a 1998 Chevrolet two-door passenger car, possibly a Monte Carlo, thought to have a Missouri plate AF9 Y3E.

The circumstances of their disappearance remain unresolved and the trail reportedly went cold. If anyone knew Gary or Laura, or saw the described vehicle around July 20, 2017, contact the Joplin Police Department with any information.
