Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP31700) and 1 other source

Leon Everett, aged 70 at the time, was last seen on December 9, 2004, in Delray Beach, Florida. He disappeared after leaving his home following an argument with his son. Everett, who was retired and had a fishing business in the Turks and Caicos, was in Florida to attend a class reunion. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a plaid t-shirt and shorts, and it's believed he might have been carrying a .22 caliber gun. Despite this, no trace of him has been found, and he has had no activity on his bank accounts or cell phone since that day.

Everett suffered from arthritis and depression, conditions for which he took medication. He was also known to be cautious and potentially dangerous if approached, due to his state of mind at the time. Authorities have suggested that Everett might have left voluntarily, though he had little money with him, no credit cards, and no recent financial activity. His case remains unresolved, with the last known lead being his departure from his home on Arelia Drive.

Despite efforts by law enforcement and the community, no significant information has emerged about his whereabouts. His family and investigators continue to seek any tips that could help resolve his case, which remains an open and troubling mystery for those who knew him.
