Reed Jeppson, a Salt Lake City teen, went outside to feed his dogs one Sunday afternoon in 1964 and vanished, with the dogs, into thin air. Decades later, his heartbroken family still has so many unanswered questions.

If Reed is alive today, he is 74 years old. He’s white, with medium blond hair and blue eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he was 5'6" and 140 pounds, and he had braces on his top and bottom teeth.
