Roy Lee Brandel, 84, disappeared from his farm near Ironton, Missouri, on July 10, 2016. Described as 5 feet 9 inches and 135 pounds with gray hair and gray eyes, he had dementia and a visual impairment. On the morning he vanished he went into a wooded part of the property to chop wood, told family he would be back for lunch, and never returned.

Family members found his pickup truck and his tools on the property the same day and began a search. The Iron County Sheriff’s Office also investigated and an extensive search of the difficult, wooded terrain was carried out, but no sign of Brandel was ever found. His clothing that day was reported as a tan long-sleeved shirt, tan pants, and boots. The case remains unresolved and his family continues to seek answers.

If anyone had contact with Roy around July 10, 2016, or remembers seeing him on or near the farm, please share what you know.
