Hanson Bailor Oates, 49, of Lake Worth, Florida, disappeared on March 10, 1983, under suspicious circumstances and has not been seen since. He was 6 feet 1 inch, about 180 pounds, with gray hair, brown eyes, several scars on his right arm and elbow, and one leg shorter than the other. He was last seen wearing a white polo shirt and brown slacks.

Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office investigators have kept the case open and his file is listed with NamUs, but no significant leads or publicly released updates have emerged. Foul play is suspected, yet there are no known persons of interest reported.

If anyone knew Hanson, his routines, or saw him in Lake Worth around March 10, 1983, please share what might help resolve this long-unsolved disappearance.
