John Russell Orr, 49, was last seen in Spokane, Washington, on September 13, 1999. After losing his job that day he was given a ride and dropped off near Dingy’s Tavern on West 2nd Avenue; that was the last reported sighting or contact. At the time he was described as a white male about 5 feet 7 to 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 145 to 160 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a beard. He was wearing jeans, an insulated plaid flannel shirt and brown work boots.

Distinctive marks on his body included a partially amputated left earlobe, a scar on the left side of his forehead running from eye to ear, and an abdominal scar. The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation but reports say no personal effects were recovered and there has been no financial or other activity to indicate his whereabouts. The lack of contact with family and friends was described as uncharacteristic and the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone who lived near West 2nd Avenue in 1999 remember seeing John or have information about that area on or after September 13?
