- Details of Disappearance:
- On August 3, 1960, in Billings, Montana, a man named Stanton disappeared. His wife came home late that evening and found him gone. He’d left a note saying he got a new job inspecting damage from fires. There were wildfires near Pompey’s Pillar around that time, and since Stanton used to own a ranch there, he might have gone to help. He was last seen walking north on Monroe Street. He left all his clothes at home except what he was wearing. His wife didn’t report him missing until two days later. The mystery of what happened to Stanton remains unsolved.
