Billie Bob Black, 74, and his wife Mary Lou Black vanished from their Atchison, Kansas, home on September 11, 2009. They left about 8:15 PM in a light blue 1990 Honda Civic with a loud exhaust and missing paint on the hood; neither the couple nor the car has ever been located. Billie had severe diabetes, impaired vision and difficulty walking; Mary Lou was in advanced stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

Their house was left with the lights on and personal items behind, including both driver’s licenses, a checkbook, some cash and Billie’s insulin. Billie had told his son he was struggling to care for his wife and to cope with his own health, and some have speculated they may have driven into the nearby Missouri River, but searches produced no conclusive evidence and there has been no sign of foul play.

The couple were high school sweethearts and remembered by neighbors as quiet and reclusive. Does anyone have information about the Honda Civic, the couple’s movements on September 11, 2009, or any sightings afterward?
