Leonard Dirickson, or Lenny as he was known to friends and family, was a 39 year old dairy farmer in Strong City, Oklahoma who on the morning of March 14, 1998 had breakfast with his 16 year old son Jared, before a day of work on the farm. At approximately 9 am, an unknown visitor arrived outside of the front door of the house, and Leonard went outside to talk to him. While he didn't appear to know who the man was, the two appeared to be having a normal, polite conversation. A few minutes later, Leonard came back inside and told Jared that the man was interested in taking a look at a horse that he had for sale. He didn't mention who the man was, but told Jared he would be taking a trip with him to view the horse and should be back that afternoon. That would be the last time Jared would ever see his father. A witness put Leonard at a restaurant just a few miles away approximately 2 hours later with a man matching the description of the man who came to his house. They again appeared to be having a normal conversation. It's believed that Leonard and the man never made it to the stable to view the horse, and there wouldn't be another sign of Leonard until 6 months later when a bizarre sighting placed him at a bar in Amarillo, Texas. When police responded to a call from a man claiming to see Leonard at the bar, they found that the caller and the man believed to be Leonard were gone. Since then, there has been no more word on his whereabouts. There is no body and no evidence of a crime. To this day the whereabouts of Leonard Dirickson are still unknown.
