Barry Stephenson, 76, was reported missing after last known movements on July 8–9, 2024. He took a bus from Carson City to Sparks on July 8, then on July 9 at about 12:15 p.m. was recorded getting into a Capital Cab outside the Carson Nugget. The cab driver said he was dropped off at the Greyhound bus station in Sparks and that Stephenson mentioned he intended to travel to Arizona.

Authorities describe Stephenson as a white male, 6 feet 1 inch, about 160 pounds, gray or partially gray hair, blue eyes, and a long white beard. Surveillance from when he was last seen shows him wearing a cowboy hat, a dark coat and pants, and carrying a large bag. The Carson City Sheriff’s Office is handling the case (case number 2024-4153) and has said foul play is not suspected; Stephenson has no known medical issues.

It remains unknown whether he ever reached Arizona or where he has been since the Greyhound drop-off. Anyone who saw Barry or who has information about his travel after July 9 is asked to contact the Carson City Sheriff’s Office.
