Clarence Ruffin, 71, disappeared from his Avondale, Louisiana, home on July 10, 1992 after leaving to get a haircut on Morgan Court. He never returned and was not seen again. That day he was reportedly wearing blue or brown pants, a black shirt, a blue cap, and black shoes.

Ruffin had Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss and also suffered from a heart condition that required medication, making his sudden disappearance especially worrying to family and neighbors. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office investigated, but the trail reportedly ended on Morgan Court and no concrete leads or witnesses emerged as days became months and then years.

The circumstances — a routine outing that ended with no trace of a vulnerable elderly man — have left the case unresolved and raised concerns about possible foul play. Does anyone who lived in Avondale in 1992 or who remembers Morgan Court that summer have information that could help clarify what happened to Clarence Ruffin?
