John C. Butler, 60, was last seen April 23, 1980, in Gering, Nebraska. He was reported to have walked away from his family and no contact has been made since. He was known at the time by the alias Donald Ray Warren.

Described as a Caucasian male with brown hair and blue eyes, he stood between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 11 inches and weighed about 150 pounds. Distinguishing features include a missing right finger and scars on his back, neck, and upper left arm. The Scotts Bluff County Sheriff’s Office lists the case as open and the person remains on missing persons databases.

Very few leads have emerged and investigators have limited information about his medical and personal history or the circumstances of his departure. Does anyone have memories of John, Donald Ray Warren, or information about his whereabouts in Gering around April 1980?
