Dennis Denny Laudenklos was 30 when he was last known to be in the Scottsbluff, Nebraska, area on May 19, 1973. He is a White man, brown hair and eyes, about 5 feet 9 inches and 175 pounds, born September 11, 1942. The disappearance began as a weekend canoe trip on the North Platte River from Torrington, Wyoming, toward Scottsbluff. Around 7:00 p.m. near an irrigation diversion dam about one mile west of Henry, Nebraska, the canoe overturned. Dennis’s roommate survived and reached shore; when he could not find Dennis he went to a nearby farmhouse and notified authorities.

A public flyer notes the case was reopened in 1994 after new information came in following a television feature, but those details have not been released publicly. Does anyone have memories of that river stretch or information that could help clarify what happened that night?
