Willard Thomas Marks, age 55, was last seen on July 10, 2005, in Topeka, Kansas. He was spotted by police while hitchhiking and was dropped off at the intersection of 6th Street and Croco Road. Marks, who had a history of mental illness, was under the care of Valeo Behavioral Health, and his caseworker reported him missing in October 2005 after not hearing from him for several months. His family last had contact with him in February 2005, and he had mentioned his desire to travel to Denver, Colorado. He had a history of visiting Boulder, Colorado, and had previously been treated at a state psychiatric hospital in Colorado.

Marks was a white male, standing 6'2" and weighing around 200 pounds. He had gray hair, blue eyes, and may have had a mustache or beard. His case is classified as endangered missing, and his whereabouts remain unknown. Despite his family's efforts and continued investigations by local authorities, few leads have surfaced regarding his disappearance.

The Topeka Police Department continues to seek information from the public in hopes of resolving this long-standing case.
