David Robert Person was 35 when he disappeared from Roanoke, Virginia, in the autumn of 1987. The official last-seen date is October 6, 1987, when he was observed boarding a bus to attend an outpatient day program at the VA hospital; his family believes the last confirmed sighting was nearly a month earlier, on September 8, 1987. He’s described as a white male with sandy, balding hair and hazel eyes, standing between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 10 inches and weighing between 130 and 160 pounds. He sometimes wore a blond hairpiece and aviator-style eyeglasses and did not own a vehicle, traveling by bus to appointments. His case was classified as endangered missing because he may have needed medical attention when he vanished. The Roanoke Police Department has kept the case open; there are few concrete leads and the differing last-seen dates remain an unresolved detail.

Did anyone in Roanoke see David around September or October 1987, or recall a man matching his description getting off a bus that fall?
