Douglas Gene Bowers, 50, was last seen one November evening in 1997 at the Waylans Road Haus Bar in Worth Township, near Lexington, Michigan. The exact date of his disappearance is unclear. He was described as a white male, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, 125–130 pounds, with blond, greying hair, a greying beard, blue eyes and prescription eyeglasses.

On December 8, 1997, Bowers’ 1985 Buick Electra Park Avenue station wagon was found abandoned in a Meijer parking lot in Fort Gratiot, just outside Port Huron. Investigators reported traces of blood inside the vehicle, prompting suspicion of foul play. The Sanilac County Sheriff’s Office investigated, but no suspects have been publicly named and no arrests have been announced.

Bowers’ brother and daughter have provided DNA samples that were entered into national databases. What happened to him after he left the bar remains unknown. Does anyone have information about Bowers, his movements that November, or that Buick in early December 1997?
