Luther Owen Boyt, 59, vanished after a night out in Kansas City on November 26, 2000. That day he had been moving from his longtime mansion on Janssen Place into a new apartment and spent Saturday with movers. He went to Buddies’ Bar on Main Street that evening, left alone at about 2:30 a.m., and told friends he would meet them the next morning. He never returned.

His wallet with credit and casino cards was later found, and his dark green 1998 Infiniti Q45T was located locked and abandoned in Penn Valley Park near the Liberty Memorial on November 27. The car contained personal items and $360 in cash, and searches of the park with canines and a helicopter produced no trace of him. Authorities have long suspected foul play and the case remains open; he was declared legally dead in 2007.

Anyone who knew Boyt, saw him the night of November 25–26, 2000, or has information about his car being left in Penn Valley Park is asked to come forward.
