Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP32680) and 12 other sources
Merle Glen Saul, aged 55, was last seen on foot in Omaha, Nebraska, on October 1, 2015. At the time of his disappearance, Merle was homeless and struggling with mobility due to a previous frostbite injury to his foot. He was wearing a green sweatshirt, a camp jacket, dark blue pants, and a Veterans hat, and was carrying a black backpack. Merle also had distinctive features, including missing teeth, a scarred face, and the tip of his nose being partially amputated. He had several tattoos, including the phrase "Indian born" on his left arm, as well as scars on his left wrist and forehead.

Merle's disappearance was not reported until months later, in February 2016. He had a history of transient living, often sleeping outdoors due to his background as a U.S. Army veteran and paratrooper. Despite being in regular contact with his family and making trips back to his reservation for cultural events, Merle has not been heard from since that day. His case remains unsolved, with limited information available on his whereabouts.

Authorities, including the Omaha Police Department and the FBI, have been involved in the investigation, though no significant leads have surfaced. His family, friends, and the Santee Sioux community continue to seek answers regarding his disappearance.
