John Lee Scranton, 68, was last seen on August 3, 2022, while on a road trip in Richland, Washington, intending to return to his home in Federal Way the same day. His last known contact was in the Richland area at about 2:30 p.m. He is described as a white male with gray hair and hazel eyes, 5 feet 11 inches tall and about 165 to 175 pounds.

A Silver Alert was issued for the at-risk man. On August 14, 2022, Scranton’s black 2017 GMC Terrain, Washington plate BEB5922, was found abandoned in Yakima, roughly 80 miles from where he was last seen. The vehicle recovery raised new questions but few other details have been released. The Washington State Patrol and the Federal Way Police Department are handling the investigation.

What information might explain how the car traveled that distance or where John Scranton went after his last sighting — did anyone in the Richland or Yakima areas see him or his SUV that day?
