Missing from Sallisaw, OK since New Year's Day 1969, but last known to be there sometime in 1978? Hmmm....
Looks like there's a small child in the photo with him. Wonder what family he left behind and who may be looking for him. Also wondering about all the aliases....all jmo

I found a story from the Sequoyah County Times (the Sallisaw newspaper) that shows a Riley Rose of the right age finding a woman's body in 1977. I wonder if his disappearance is related?

I can find a few mentions later that her death is still unsolved.

I tend to doubt there's a connection, but great find.
