Charles Terry Heese, 44, was last seen at his parents’ home in Parkville, Missouri, on the evening of June 5, 1999. The next morning his parents found he was gone; there were no signs of struggle and no note. At the time he disappeared he was described as a white male, between 6 feet 1 inch and 6 feet 3 inches tall, about 200 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, and scars on his upper lip and lower back.

The case took an unusual turn when his truck was found abandoned in a cul-de-sac at the edge of the desert in Albuquerque, New Mexico, roughly 800 miles southwest of Parkville. That discovery raised major questions but did not produce clear answers or substantial investigative breakthroughs. Few recent photographs of Heese were available; most pictures dated from his high school years.

Anyone with memories of Terry, knowledge of his movements around June 1999, or information about a truck left in that part of Albuquerque is asked to come forward.
