Willy Ray Lecompte, 34, was last seen in Greensboro, North Carolina, on January 31, 2007. He boarded a Greyhound bus that day with a ticket for Charlotte; his travel after reaching Charlotte is unclear. An individual later said they bought him a ticket from Charlotte to Atlanta, and there was also speculation he might have been heading to New Orleans, where he had lived previously, but his final destination has never been confirmed.

Lecompte is described as a white male, 5 feet 9 inches, about 125 pounds, with red or auburn hair, green eyes, a mustache and goatee. He was reportedly wearing a blue Dallas Cowboys starter jacket, dark blue casual pants, black tennis shoes and a baseball cap. He had a stent implanted and a metal plate in his head; family submitted DNA to national databases.

The Greensboro Police Department keeps the case open but details available to the public are limited and the trail has gone cold. If anyone saw Willy around Charlotte, Atlanta or New Orleans after January 31, 2007, or remembers the bus trip, please share what was seen or known.
