Henry Lee Higgs has been missing from Tupelo, Oklahoma since September 13th, 1980. The circumstances of his disappearance are unknown.

Henry was 66-years-old at the time. He was white with brown hair and gray eyes. Henry was 5’10 and 150lbs.

Henry was born February 4th, 1914 (which makes him over 100 years old but we continue to look for his remains) in Butler, Oklahoma. His mother was Nettie Bell Higgs. Henry was enlisted in the military on January 30th, 1941. I believe he was married twice, once to Bonnie Jordan, and then Marie Koger. He is # MP98196 in NaMus. There are zero comparisons and could indicate there may not be DNA available.

Tupelo, OK is about 60 miles from the border of Texas.

Not sure it is the same man but believe it to be - links with name and info above out enlisting. If so, while in training in TX (Camp Barkley, around the Abilene area) in 1941, a big brown dog walked into the tent/barracks and plopped down on his bed and slept there overnight. The dog let him make the bed the next day and moved to another soldier's bed. The end of the story was the sergeant saying he was "just going to let sleeping dogs lie" The story made the Assoc Press rounds.
