Barre Kallan Monigold was 23 when he vanished from Tyler, Texas. He was last seen on June 17, 1979, after returning to a friend’s apartment complex on Old Bullard Road following a date. Having fallen asleep inside, he was awakened about 1:00 a.m. and told the dome light on his blue 1978 Monte Carlo had been left on. Monigold went outside to turn off the light and never came back.

The friend could see the parking lot from the apartment kitchen and heard no unusual sounds. When the friend checked outside, the car door was unlocked and Monigold was gone; his clothing, money and other personal belongings remained. Over the years investigators followed leads ranging from voluntary flight to reports he was killed and buried at a construction site, but none of those claims has been substantiated.

Monigold had no known reason to leave voluntarily and his disappearance remains unsolved. Does anyone who knew Barre or who lived near Old Bullard Road in June 1979 have information that could help?
