Lead #3What was the relationship status and circumstances between Terry and his ex-wife at the time of the drop-off?
Terry Cornell George, a 40-year-old white male, was dropped off in Eureka Springs, Arkansas on Father's Day 1989 by his ex-wife and was never seen again. His sister did not report him missing until April 1998, nearly nine years later, when she realized she had lost all contact with him. The circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear, with no evidence of foul play initially suspected, but his prolonged absence and the delayed report have left critical questions unanswered about what happened to him.
