Gerald Wayne Orlando was 27 when he was last seen in Houston on September 6, 1976. He’s described as a white male, brown hair, brown eyes, about 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet 1 inch and roughly 180 to 190 pounds. A distinctive panther tattoo on his right forearm is noted as a key identifying feature.

At the time he disappeared Orlando was driving a tan or possibly burgundy 1975 or 1976 Ford Granada. That vehicle was later recovered abandoned at the Addicks Reservoir in Houston, but no further clues about his whereabouts were reported and few details have emerged since. The Houston Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety continue to seek information.

Did anyone in the Houston area remember seeing a Ford Granada near Addicks Reservoir in September 1976 or know more about Gerald’s last movements?
