William Nolan Bass, 87, disappeared from Bellmead, Texas, on October 21, 2000. He left home about 9:00 a.m. to drive to Waco to have his 1977 tan and brown Chevrolet Caprice inspected and to buy new vehicle tags. He was last seen on Highway 84 near Loop 340 and never reached his destination.

Bass reportedly carried a blank check for the tags but had no extra cash or credit cards. His car and he were never found. In the days after his disappearance there were several unconfirmed sightings. Investigators considered medical causes such as a stroke with resulting amnesia and also the possibility of a carjacking. Volunteer groups, including Texas EquuSearch, joined search efforts, but the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew William Bass, saw his 1977 Caprice, or has information from that October 2000 trip, please come forward.
