Rex Lee Douglas, a 61-year-old pastor from Lyons, Colorado, disappeared after a trip to Missouri and Iowa in late January 1984. He traveled for a land transaction, made an unexplained side trip to Des Moines, and reportedly visited Nazarene Headquarters in Kansas City. On January 30, 1984, Douglas checked out of a Bridgeton hotel and was last confirmed at St. Louis Lambert Airport. He placed a suitcase in an airport locker but did not pick up his boarding pass or board the scheduled flight to Denver. The suitcase was found by airport police about a year later.

At the time he vanished he wore a dark navy blue suit, brown sweater vest, white shirt and red tie, and used reading glasses. Distinguishing features included a small round scar on his left shoulder and the tip of his left middle finger missing. His wife reported him missing on February 3, 1984, and the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office later handled the case after the Lyons Police Department dissolved. Few leads have emerged and his whereabouts remain unknown.

If anyone knew Rex, his travel plans, or saw him at St. Louis Lambert Airport around January 30, 1984, please share what can help this long-cold inquiry.
