Terry Cornell George, a 40-year-old white male, was last seen on Father's Day 1989 (June 21) in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, when his ex-wife dropped him off at his choice of location. His sister did not report him missing until April 1998—nearly nine years later—raising questions about the circumstances of his disappearance and whether foul play was involved. The case remains unsolved, and investigators seek information about what happened to Terry in the days and weeks following that last known contact.
