Leonard Dirickson
On March 14, 1998, at a farmhouse in Strong City, Oklahoma, 39-year-old Leonard Dirickson sat down for breakfast with his teenage son. As they were cleaning up, they were interrupted by a mysterious stranger in a truck, inquiring about a horse for sale.
It had been a tough few years for their family farm, so Leonard told his son he was going to leave with the man in hopes of selling one of their horses on another property and that he’d be back that afternoon. But Leonard remains missing to this day in one of the most puzzling cases in Oklahoma
history.
Leonard Neal Dirickson was 39 years old when he was last seenon March 14, 1998, at his home in Strong City, Oklahoma. He was seen getting into a newer or possibly a 1994 white Ford F150 pickup truck with an unknown
man. He told his son that they were headed to Mobeetie, Texas, and Elk City,
Oklahoma, to look at horses.
Leonard is white, about 6 feet tall, and weighed approximately 200 pounds at the time of his disappearance, with brown hair and a red handlebar mustache. He has grey eyes and a small scar under one eye. He was last seen wearing a brown cap with a green bill and an ACCO feeds logo, a faded black Carhartt brand coat, green jeans, and black and brown shoes or
boots.
The unidentified man Leonard was last seen with has been described as white, about 6’2”, around 40 years old, and approximately 210lbs with a reddish-brown beard, a long nose, dark eyes, and a thick, round face. He was seen wearing blue jeans, a striped western shirt, a blue jacket, and a cap with the words “No Fear” on the front. He may be right-handed and smokes
cigarettes, possibly Marlboro Lights. A sketch has been created and circulated for further reference.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Roger Mills County Sheriff’s Office at 580-497-2417.
