Robert Lue Verne Odman Sr. was 53 when he left his Sioux Falls home after an argument with his two sons in September 1995. Grief over his daughter’s death is described as having created a tense household before he departed. He drove away in a silver Bronco and did not return.

On January 6, 1996, Odman turned up in Walsenburg, Colorado, where he walked into the police station and asked where he could find a homeless shelter. After receiving directions he left the station and was never seen again. At that last confirmed sighting he was described as 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 3 inches, 175 to 190 pounds, with sandy brown hair, blue eyes, blind in his left eye, a scar on his abdomen and a forearm tattoo of a knife with a skull.

The Sioux Falls Police Department has investigated but reports few solid leads and no further confirmed contact. Does anyone who remembered seeing a silver Bronco or a tall man matching his description in late 1995 or early 1996 have information that could help locate him?
