Ellsworth Wilson Mielke, a 33-year-old truck driver from Salt Lake City, Utah, disappeared on August 25, 1947, after returning from a run to Tremonton. He told his employer he was feeling ill and was advised to go home, but he never arrived and was not seen again. A month later his vehicle was found abandoned at Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington, Utah, with the keys in the ignition and his cap and lunch bucket inside.

His wife, Helen, said he had suffered occasional blackouts, though none had been reported recently. Investigators conducted interviews and searches but turned up no significant clues. There were no known reasons for him to leave and no reported signs of depression, leaving family and authorities puzzled.

Does anyone have information about Ellsworth’s movements in late August 1947 or recall sightings near Lagoon Amusement Park that could help explain his disappearance?
