Details of Disappearance

Garris resided at Sarah Pierce Assisted Living Community on Constitution Way in Litchfield, Connecticut. He entered the facility in late June 1999. He was last seen at approximately 6:00 a.m. on July 7, 1999. Authorities believe that Garris may have been confused and walked away from the premises. He has never been heard from again.

An extensive search of the area produced no clues as to Garris's whereabouts. He impressed staff members and residents at the facility with his social skills and sophisticated manner of dress. Temperatures were in the mid-90 degree range at the time Garris disappeared.

Garris is a retired engineer. His case remains unsolved.
