Reed Went For A Walk With His Dogs And Never Returned.

Reed T. Jeppson

He was 15 years old when he went missing from Salt Lake City, Utah on Sunday, October 11, 1964.

The Jeppson family had just returned home to 1951 Browning Avenue, after attending church.
Reed came into the kitchen while his sister was making dinner and opened cans of dog food. 

He then left the house to feed and walk his two German Short haired Pointer dogs.

He had told his sister that he would be back in a half an hour.

The last known sighting of Reed and his dogs was in front of the now defunct St. Mary of the Wasatch school, not far from the Jeppson home.

A tip was received which led police to search a gully near Clayton Middle School, about half a block from the Jeppson home. 

Cadaver dogs initially showed interest in a specific spot, and it was excavated, but the dogs eventually stopped indicating anything was there.

At the time of his disappearance he was 5'06" tall, 140 lbs, with blonde hair and blue eyes.

He had braces on his teeth and was wearing a white cotton knit shirt, a reversible parka with one side black and one side blue, blue Levi's jeans and sneakers.

His case remains unsolved.
