Vernon Milton Gunlicks was 50 when he disappeared from Kearney, Nebraska, on July 6, 1964. Described as a Caucasian man with brown hair, blue eyes, about 5 feet 10 inches and 190 pounds, he wore glasses.

Gunlicks was manager and co-owner of Cash-Wa Candy Co., a local business he helped run since purchasing it in 1957 with Harvey Henning. On the morning of July 6 he reportedly drove to a Kearney bowling alley around 9:00 a.m., collected $1,500 from a customer, and planned to make a bank deposit. The customer said he drove Vernon to the bank but never saw him again. Vernon never completed the deposit and did not return to his routine; later that evening his vehicle was found parked across the street from the bowling alley.

The known facts end in the middle of a normal business morning: a collection, a planned deposit, a reported ride toward the bank, and then no confirmed sighting. If anyone knew Vernon, worked with him, or saw him in Kearney on July 6, 1964, please share what might help this investigation.
