Faris William Gore, known to some as Bud, was 64 when he left his Atchison, Kansas home on the morning of July 2, 1987, and was never heard from again. He was last seen about 7:30 a.m. driving east on Highway 59 in a silver 1983 Volkswagen Rabbit with a diesel engine. At the time he left he was reported to be in a state of extreme emotional distress, and his departure was described as highly out of character.

Gore is a white male, six feet three inches and about 170 pounds, with graying brown hair, graying sideburns, brown eyes and brown-framed prescription eyeglasses. He was wearing a shirt and overalls when he vanished. No withdrawals were made from his bank account after his disappearance, and neither he nor his vehicle has ever been found. The Atchison Police Department and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation classify the case as endangered missing.

Are there readers who remember seeing a silver Volkswagen Rabbit in the St. Joseph–Atchison area on or after July 2, 1987, or who have any information about Faris Gore’s movements that morning?
