Daryl Alphonse Wilkes was 54 when he left Jefferson City, Missouri, on August 24, 2007, about 4:00 p.m., driving a leased 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe, dark metallic green, Oklahoma plate 847-ZVE. He told others he planned to visit his girlfriend in Florissant, Missouri, and was wearing a brown short-sleeved shirt and dark pants.

Surveillance at a Quik-Trip in St. Peters captured him at about 10:30 p.m. that night, and financial records show he made a purchase there. After that point there are no confirmed sightings, no return of the leased SUV to the rental agency, and no further financial activity or contact. He has a distinctive turtle-shaped birthmark on his ankle. The Cole County Sheriff’s Office continues the open investigation.

If anyone saw Daryl, his vehicle, or has information about his route or stops after St. Peters on August 24, 2007, please come forward.
