William Francis Horning, 60, vanished from his Gladstone, Missouri home after being last seen May 4, 1992; his wife reported him missing on May 6. He was described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches, 170 pounds, with graying, balding hair, green eyes, glasses, a mole on his back and a scar on his right shoulder.

Three days before he disappeared Horning told federal authorities in Kansas City he had been contracted to kill real estate owner John Bray in July 1991, saying a woman who would inherit much of Bray’s estate had hired him. On the day he was last seen he left in a company truck with one of his employees. In subsequent years his name and Social Security number were used to open credit card accounts, and a possible sighting was reported in Colorado in 1993 or 1994 by a teenager who said they saw a man resembling Horning walking a dog.

The case remains open. Did anyone in Gladstone or Colorado remember seeing Horning around 1992–1994 or have information about the alleged murder-for-hire confession?
