Hartford Hunter Dunn, 76, was last seen on August 5, 2004, in Marshall, Texas. He lived with his daughter and son-in-law on Private Road 4002 off Sue Belle Lake Road and was in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. He was last known to be at home sometime between midnight and 7:30 a.m.; his daughter woke to find the front door open and him missing.

Known as Sweet Papa, Dunn is described as 5 feet 7 inches and about 189 pounds, with a long gray beard. He was last seen wearing a light blue jumpsuit, white socks and black shoes, and was a cigar smoker. It’s believed he may have wandered off, possibly trying to reach a brother who lived on Karnack Highway in Marshall, but he never arrived there. Searches and investigations have been conducted and the case remains unsolved.
