I found a lot of sources for a Lester Petry in Minnesota who was born in the 20s, any chance this Lester was a Junior?

Yeah, his father was also Lester Petry.

I took a look and there isn't anything on newspapers.com, sadly

Father is Lester Herman, and MP is Lester Loran, for future reference.

Nothing in newspaperarchives either. I wonder if he was just reported? Namus case was created in January this year.

April 18, 1971..where is Lester!?

There's so much more information I want! What did he study? Did he live on campus? Who first noticed he was missing? What happened on the last day he was seen? He was reported missing fairly recently it seems, so someone out there is looking. I hope they come and join us here.

18th April 1971 was a Sunday by the way, so he hadn't been in classes that day.

His face looks so familiar and distinctive, have I seen this face on a UID?!
