Albert Gary Mitchell, 65, vanished from Bourbon County, Kentucky, after a last confirmed sighting on August 26, 2004, when he visited a bank in North Middletown with his girlfriend. A Vietnam veteran active in the Central Kentucky horse community, Mitchell was described as a Caucasian male between 6 feet and 6 feet 2 inches tall, about 205 pounds, with graying hair, blue eyes, glasses, and a partial denture plate. He had high blood pressure and a heart condition, and his essential medication was left at home.

Mitchell and his tan 1992 GMC minivan (Kentucky plate 270KDN) both disappeared. Three weeks before he went missing he had been the victim of a serious assault that required dozens of stitches; a suspect was charged in that assault, but it is unclear whether it is connected to his disappearance. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a blue denim shirt, black cowboy boots, a brown leather belt, and a gold horseshoe-shaped ring with a one-carat diamond on his right ring finger. Despite searches of his farm and local media broadcasts, there has been no contact from his family.

Does anyone with knowledge of Central Kentucky horse sales, swap meets, or the North Middletown area in 2004 have information that could help locate his vehicle or explain what happened to Albert Mitchell?
