Lawrence Eugene Busche, a 70-year-old man from Kenosha, Wisconsin, was last seen by his family around 9 p.m. on November 4, 2013. He disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and his vehicle was later discovered parked in downtown Kenosha. Inside the car, all his personal belongings were left behind, including his wallet and dentures, which raised immediate concerns about his safety. Lawrence is believed to have been on foot at the time of his disappearance.

Lawrence is described as a white male, between 5'9" and 5'10", weighing 155 to 220 pounds. He has partially gray hair, a beard, and brown eyes. At the time he was last seen, he was wearing a plaid jacket and a blue baseball cap. Lawrence also had a medical condition that required regular medication, adding urgency to the search for him.
