Arthur Deering, 46, was last seen in Beacon, New York, on June 20, 1998. A friend dropped him at the Metro-North train station at about 8:00 p.m.; he was reportedly heading to the Montrose Veterans Affairs Hospital, where he had been an inpatient for six weeks and was discharged eight days earlier. He carried a large black plastic bag with most of his belongings and wore a black POW T-shirt and blue jeans.

Arthur is a Vietnam veteran who lived with post-traumatic stress disorder and diabetes, and his family believes he may not have been taking his medications when he disappeared, which could cause disorientation or paranoia. His car was found abandoned on Spring Valley Street in Beacon a few days later, with no clear explanation for what happened. He walks with a limp, has a large scar on his left leg, a heart tattoo on his right arm, and is missing two front teeth. Before he vanished he had been living in Kingston and had previously lived in Tennessee, North Carolina, and Florida.

If anyone saw Arthur after June 20, 1998, or knows of his whereabouts, please come forward with any information that might help his family.
