Perry Juerrell Stokes, known as Buck or by his middle name Juerrell, was 20 when he vanished after a Tuesday afternoon squirrel hunt in late August 1982. He spent the afternoon with a friend, accepted some fish at the friend’s home, spoke with his father and said he would be home shortly, and was never seen again.

At the time he disappeared Perry was described as brown-haired, blue-eyed, 5 feet 9 to 5 feet 10 inches tall, slender at about 135 to 140 pounds, with a flat spot on the back right side of his head and a long scar from his breastbone to near his navel. He was believed to be wearing blue jeans, no shirt, a camouflage hat and tan boots (size 9 or 9 ½). Distinctive items reported include a brown belt with a German-style eagle buckle (the back possibly engraved white brass and a social security number), a gold chain with a circular winged-horse emblem, and several rings he may have intended to sell.

Kentucky State Police investigated but the trail went cold. Perry’s brothers have provided DNA samples for national databases. Does anyone remember seeing Perry or those distinctive items in late August 1982?
