George Dewey Lane, 63, disappeared from San Diego, California, after leaving his workplace on October 14, 1997. Coworkers say he left his desk neatly arranged, stepped outside and never returned. He did not come back to collect his final paycheck, and his whereabouts have been unknown since that day.

Lane is described as a Caucasian man with gray or partially gray hair and blue eyes. In the days before he vanished he told his boss he was having problems with neighbors and planned to move; he also mentioned an ex-wife and children, though friends and coworkers didn’t know their names or where they lived. The San Diego Police Department is still investigating but few details or significant leads have emerged.
