Reverend LeRoy Butler, 85, vanished while returning to his Memphis, Tennessee home on October 30, 2001. He called his wife from Arkansas during the trip and sounded disoriented; he never reached his residence and has not been heard from since. There was concern he may have been in the early stages of Alzheimer’s at the time.

Butler was described as a Black male, 6 feet tall, about 190 pounds, with gray hair, brown eyes, eyeglasses and a small scar on the right side of his neck. When last seen he wore a gray wool suit, lavender shirt and matching tie, black Stacy Adams shoes and black socks, and several pieces of jewelry including a gold and diamond wedding band, a second plain gold band, a white gold Masonic ring with a diamond, and a gold watch. His vehicle was found abandoned in a field in Bolivar, Tennessee, two days after he was reported missing. Cell phone records reportedly placed his phone near Birmingham, Alabama, but that lead did not produce his whereabouts.

The Memphis Police Department is the investigating agency and the case remains listed as endangered missing. Does anyone have information about Reverend Butler’s last movements or recall seeing his car in October 2001?
