Lawrence Larry Thorsteinson, 76, disappeared from Morton, Washington on December 28, 2012. A resident of the Heritage House assisted living facility who lived with dementia, he was last seen about 11:00 a.m. simply walking away from the residence; his absence was not reported until about 9:30 p.m. that evening. He is a white male, 5 feet 10 inches, about 190 pounds, with gray hair, and his left hand is missing three fingers, leaving only the thumb and pinky. He was believed to be wearing a brown Carhartt hat and matching jacket when he left.

Search-and-rescue teams with K-9s tracked his scent to U.S. Highway 12 before the trail vanished, leading investigators to consider that a passing motorist might have given him a ride. The weather that day was cold and rainy with snow on the ground. A few potential sightings were reported over time, including near White Pass Ski Area and at a Portland-area Home Depot, but none were confirmed. No definitive leads have emerged and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in Morton or the surrounding area see Lawrence around December 28, 2012, or afterward?
