Jack Nels Gordon, 77, was last seen October 2, 2008, leaving his apartment on Miranda Street in Fort Garland, Colorado, to drive to a five-acre home-site he owned on the southeast end of Luke Road in the Forbes Trinchera Ranches (Sangre De Cristo Ranches). A retired teacher, husband and father of seven, he drove a 1994 Chevrolet and was last seen wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt, faded blue denim jeans, light-colored moccasin-style loafers and eyeglasses. His family says he suffered from a severe form of vertigo that could render him immobile; he may have been returning to the site because he thought he left misplaced glasses there.

Later that day Gordon’s 1994 Chevrolet was found at the Luke Road property but there was no sign of him. The Costilla County Sheriff’s Office and volunteers searched more than a one-mile radius with ATVs, horseback teams and search dogs but found no physical trace. A neighbor, convicted felon John Fureigh, also disappeared the same day; authorities have not established whether the two cases are connected.

The disappearance remains unsolved and open. Does anyone have information about Jack Gordon, his movements that day, or the Luke Road area that could help investigators?
