Kenneth William Spencer, 85, disappeared from his Tecumseh, Oklahoma, home on the evening of July 6, 1988. According to his wife Willie, he told her he was going to check on a possible prowler in the woods just west of the property and took a rifle or a shotgun with him. He did not return, and Willie reported him missing on July 9, 1988. A multi-day search produced no trace of him.

Spencer was declared legally dead in 1995. In March 2017 human remains were found in a wooded area of rural Pottawatomie County near Harjo; investigators considered a possible link to Spencer. Identification was confirmed in May 2024 by DNA comparison with a great-niece. The cause of death remains undetermined.

What information about that wooded area or anyone seen around the Spencer property in July 1988 might help explain what happened?
