Forrest Atmore Stanton, 77, was last seen in Billings, Montana late the evening of August 2, 1960. He and his wife lived on the 30 block of Monroe Street; the last sighting placed him walking north on Monroe Street. His wife returned home that night to find him gone and reported him missing two days later.

Stanton left a note saying he would be away for a period because he had secured a new job inspecting fire damage. That detail gained attention because grass fires were burning near Pompey’s Pillar at the time, and Stanton had formerly owned a ranch in that area. He left all other belongings at home and was wearing a gray work shirt, jeans and red corduroy house slippers. He was described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches, about 165 pounds, with gray hair, eyeglasses, left-handed and noted for very distinctive handwriting.

The Billings Police Department is the investigating agency and the case remains unsolved. Does anyone who lived in the Billings area in 1960 remember seeing Stanton or have information about his movements after August 2?
