Ira Eugene Goff, known to family as IraGene, was last seen on the morning of December 14, 2014, leaving a Huck’s convenience store on foot in Benton, Illinois. Surveillance captured him at about 9:00 a.m.; his family reported him missing on December 18, 2014. His vehicle was later found at his residence, suggesting he had not planned to travel far.

At the time he vanished he was 59 years old, described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches tall, about 150 pounds, with gray hair and blue eyes. Distinctive features include a birthmark on the left side of his neck, a skin graft on his back, and full upper dentures. He was last seen wearing a camouflage-print jacket, a red hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and a camouflage-print baseball cap.

Ira was known in Benton for his routines and for enjoying walks, auctions, and numbers, so his disappearance was out of character and remains unexplained. The convenience-store video is the last confirmed sighting and investigators have reported few leads since. If anyone remembers seeing Ira on December 14, 2014, or knows of information that could help, please come forward.
