Glenn Diddy Tankersley, 67, was last seen in early December 2002 in St. Francisville, Louisiana. Described as 5 feet 7 inches and 175 pounds with gray hair, brown eyes, a crossed (legally blind) eye and several missing front teeth, he was reportedly wearing a brown coat, brown pants and possibly a baseball cap when he vanished. The first sign something was wrong was his lack of communication after that day.

Initial searches considered disorientation in the nearby woods, but no physical evidence or trace of him was found and that theory lost traction. Investigators later treated the disappearance as possibly involving foul play. A potential but unproven connection to convicted killer Derrick Todd Lee drew attention because the two men were acquainted and Lee had given Tankersley rides on occasion; Tankersley did not match the profile of Lee’s known victims, all of whom were women. No charges have been filed.

Unverified sightings over the years have been reported, including at a grocery store and a homeless shelter in Mississippi, but none produced confirmation. Does anyone have information about Tankersley’s movements in late 2002 or recall seeing him after early December of that year?
