Norman Leroy Limesand was 82 when he disappeared from Marion, North Dakota, on November 12, 1999. He was described as a White male about 5 feet 6 inches and 175 pounds, with gray or partially gray balding hair, blue eyes, glasses (later recovered) and missing fingers on his right hand. NamUs lists the LaMoure County Sheriff Department as the investigating agency.

Limesand left Marion that afternoon in a red 1995 Ford club cab pickup, license plate EIP-754, reportedly on his way to his son’s farm and never arrived. Four days later the truck was found abandoned in the Romkey Park neighborhood of Moorhead, Minnesota; traces of his blood were discovered in the pickup’s toolbox and a spare Wrangler tire normally kept in the truck bed was missing. A possible but unconfirmed sighting described a man resembling Limesand at a church in Waubay, South Dakota.

Investigators focused on Steve Allen Thomas, who had argued with Limesand about a water drainage issue; Limesand’s eyeglasses and blood were later found near the approach to Thomas’s mother Bonnie Rosland’s farm. Rosland lied about Thomas’s whereabouts and later pleaded guilty to perjury. In 2005 Thomas was charged in Limesand’s death; in 2006 he pleaded guilty to manslaughter and in 2007 received a 10-year sentence. Limesand’s remains have never been recovered.

Did anyone in the area know Limesand’s routines or remember seeing his pickup around November 12, 1999?
