Bumping. Donald went missing 45 years ago this month.

He was en route to 1125 Grand Avenue, if that's not his home I wonder where he was going.
That newspaper makes it sound like his home was in Grandview but it doesn't look like that address is in that city's limits.

Not really any bodies of water on that route for an accident, if his car is still missing as well.
