Lorne Karl Landeen, 22, disappeared from his Tucson apartment on January 20, 1986. A University of Arizona student planning a career as an athletic trainer, he was reportedly upset and depressed before he vanished and was believed to have intended a jog in the Sabino Canyon area. He is described as a white male, brown hair, blue eyes, 6 feet 2 inches, about 150 pounds, ambidextrous, and wearing thick-lensed eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Two days later, on January 22, Landeen’s car was found abandoned and locked in the Sabino High School parking lot. His wallet and all keys except the ignition key were inside; search dogs reportedly traced his scent around the vehicle, suggesting he may have left in another car. Family efforts to trace his unique eyeglass prescription and a possible El Paso sighting did not produce confirmation. He was declared legally deceased in the 1990s, but the Tucson Police Department still lists him as missing and the circumstances remain unresolved.

If anyone saw Lorne around Tucson or Sabino Canyon in January 1986, or remembers a possible sighting in El Paso, please share what is known.
