Rodney Lynn Kiser, 32, vanished from the Dante/Trammel area of Dickenson County, Virginia after he was last seen on April 26, 1990. A former county sheriff’s deputy, he managed the H&G Market in Trammel and lived in a mobile home on Hazel Mountain. His sister last saw him driving toward a separate property he owned nearby, which contained another mobile home, a storage building, and several old cars he worked on.

Rodney failed to show up for work and could not be located. His girlfriend said he had left for a trip to his brother’s home in Alexandria, but he never arrived and his brother had not been expecting him. On May 4, 1990, Rodney’s tan 1983 Dodge Ram pickup was found at the old property with the keys in the ignition and the driver’s window partly rolled down. A small case in the truck held his checkbook, cash, and food stamps, but the .357 Magnum he was known to carry was missing. Investigators reported apparent blood smeared near the rear entrance of the trailer, but it was never definitively linked to Rodney.

Does anyone who lived in the Dante or Trammel area in 1990 remember Rodney, his movements that spring, or seeing his pickup at the property on May 4?
