Flint Flory, 62, disappeared from Bokoshe, Oklahoma, on January 11, 1998. His family’s last contact with him was in November 1997; he was described at the time as 5 feet 7 inches, about 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, and tattoos on each upper arm — a heart with the initials LI and an anchor. He had also used the alias Merit Juan Brown, a detail whose significance remains unknown.

There have been no verifiable sightings, no known financial activity, and no communications linked to him since he vanished. The rural setting in LeFlore County and the limited surveillance technology of 1998 contributed to an investigation that quickly ran cold. The case is now with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Cold Case Unit and remains open and active.

Does anyone from the Bokoshe area remember Flint, the alias Merit Juan Brown, or have any information that could help locate him?
