Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP34274) and 8 other sources
Larry Woods, a 36-year-old man from Pratt, Kansas, went missing on May 18, 1984. He was the owner of Woods Tree Service and had informed his family that he was heading to Turon, Kansas, to meet with someone about a tree-trimming job. Witnesses last saw him at Sharon's Conoco station in Turon, driving his 1981 Chevrolet pickup truck.

The truck was later found abandoned east of Turon, just off K-61 highway in Reno County, but there was no sign of Larry. Despite an extensive search of the area, no clues were uncovered to indicate his whereabouts. Larry was described as being 5'9" tall, weighing 170 pounds, with brown hair, green eyes, and distinct tattoos—a lion's head on his right arm and a devil's head on his left arm.

Although there have been no significant leads over the years, Larry’s case remains unsolved, and authorities continue to seek information regarding his disappearance.
