Theodore Leonard Dengerud, 30, disappeared after a short drive on April 3, 1982. He left New London around 11:00 p.m. to pick up his wife from her sister’s rural home near Sunburg and, unfamiliar with the roads, stopped at an elderly couple’s house for directions. Those neighbors were the last confirmed people to see him.

Shortly after, Dengerud’s car was found crashed into a small tree at a T-shaped intersection; blood was reported on the windshield but he was not at the scene. Investigators later received unconfirmed sightings in the St. Bonifacius area, roughly 100 miles away. Family members have speculated he might have suffered amnesia and lived under another name. He was a Vietnam War veteran and worked as a subcontractor; his wife and young daughter were left without answers.

Does anyone remember seeing Theodore or his car in April 1982, or have information about possible sightings afterward?
