Lewis Bryson, a 79-year-old man from Cocoa, Florida, has been missing since July 19 or 20, 1982. At the time of his disappearance, Bryson was last seen walking along State Road 520 towards Interstate 95 in the early morning hours, possibly trying to hitchhike into town. He was wearing a white shirt, blue pants, and a cap, and was carrying a walking stick. Bryson, who suffered from dementia and high blood pressure, was dependent on daily medication, further intensifying concerns about his well-being.
Bryson lived alone on Travis Street and had spoken to friends the night before he went missing. However, when authorities later searched for him, he had vanished without a trace. Bryson was not carrying any form of identification, and despite efforts to locate him, no further information has emerged since his disappearance. The case remains unsolved, and the Cocoa Police Department continues to seek any tips that might help solve this decades-old mystery.
