Robert Richard Dick Lepsy, 33, disappeared from Grayling, Michigan on October 29, 1969. He was the manager of Glen’s Market, a husband and father of four described as dependable and well liked. At about 1:30 p.m. he left work for lunch wearing blue jeans, a pumpkin-colored crew-neck sweater, a beige London Fog raincoat, black loafers and a wristwatch, and took no luggage or travel supplies.

Three days later his car was found unattended in the Cherry Capital Airport parking lot in Traverse City, roughly an hour from Grayling. The vehicle was unlocked with the keys in the ignition and half a pack of his cigarettes on the dashboard; there were no signs of struggle in or around the car. Some family accounts say he telephoned the grocery after leaving and that he told his wife he planned to take a drive to clear his head, but there is no confirmed evidence he withdrew money, booked travel or reached a known destination.

He was declared legally dead in 1976. Does anyone who knew Dick or lived in Grayling or Traverse City in 1969 remember seeing him or his car that week?
