Dale Allen Sprague was 53 when he disappeared from Concord, North Carolina, in early summer 2010. After an argument at his home on June 3, he left on foot carrying a few personal items and some clothing bundled in a grocery bag. Surveillance footage shows a man matching his description walking along a roadway toward the highway; that image is the last confirmed sighting.

At the time he vanished Dale was described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches, 160–180 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. His 1999 Ford Ranger remained at the residence. The Concord Police Department was notified the day after he was last seen and has continued the investigation, but no significant leads have surfaced. The nature of the argument that prompted his departure has not been publicly detailed.

The case remains open and Dale’s family and community are still seeking answers. If anyone remembers seeing him on or near the highway that day or has information about his movements after he left home, please come forward.
