Paul Allen LeBlanc, 69, vanished from his Covington, Louisiana neighborhood on a cold afternoon in early February 2003. At about 2:00 p.m. he hugged and kissed his daughter, said he loved her, and left on a blue Schwinn mountain bike for a routine ride; the daughter recalled he seemed disoriented at the farewell. LeBlanc had Parkinson’s disease and early-stage dementia, with episodes of memory loss and seizures that could leave him immobile.

He was described as a white male, 6 feet tall, about 210 pounds, with salt-and-pepper hair, green eyes and a visible hair transplant along his hairline. He wore a long-sleeved white pin-striped button-up shirt, dark wool slacks, blue-gray-silver Nike shoes and a Gucci watch with a round red and green face when he disappeared. The Saint Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office conducted searches in the heavily wooded area around Flowers Estate; teams searching for Space Shuttle Columbia debris also assisted. His bicycle was later found abandoned, but no other trace of him has been located and the case remains an unsolved endangered missing person case.

Did anyone in the Covington area see Paul that afternoon or recall a blue Schwinn bicycle in the neighborhood?
