Orben Lee Dorrell, 52, was last seen in Kansas City, Missouri, on January 18, 1978. A retired Kansas City police officer who left the force in 1974 after about 25 years, Dorrell was known by his middle name Lee. He is described as a white male, 6 feet tall, about 215 pounds, with graying hair, brown eyes and a large scar on the left side of his beltline. The last confirmed sighting was at a boat shop in the southeastern part of the city.

At the time he disappeared Dorrell was the subject of a federal mail fraud investigation; his daughter says he feared for his life in the weeks before he vanished. His car was found abandoned near Kansas City International Airport on February 10, 1978, and he was later indicted on 48 counts of mail fraud in connection with two companies alleged to have been used to fraudulently claim bankruptcy. The case is officially classified as endangered missing and has remained unresolved despite FBI involvement.

Did anyone in the area in January or February 1978 see Lee Dorrell, his car, or have information about his movements before he vanished?
