Details of Disappearance

Lucas was last seen on July 23, 1994 in Harlan County, Kentucky. He and two friends went ginseng hunting on Little Shepherd Trail, two to three miles from Creech Overlook, near the Harlan/Letcher county line.

Lucas became separated from his friends and he has never been heard from again. An extensive search of the area turned up no sign of him.

Lucas's loved ones describe him as an experienced outdoorsman who was very familiar with the terrain. They believe he may have met with foul play. Lucas is one of eight siblings. One of his brothers died in 2003, and his father and one of his sisters are also deceased. His case remains unsolved.
