Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP11965) and 2 other sources
Larry Joe Ardley, a 39-year-old man from Tallahassee, Florida, has been missing since February 28, 1998. He was last seen visiting his sister at her office on Apalachee Parkway. Shortly before his disappearance, authorities believe Larry accidentally caused a fire that destroyed his mother's home, after which he vanished. He was reportedly seen once more on April 1, 1998, near Mike's Beer Barn on West Tennessee Street, but there have been no confirmed sightings since then.

Larry, a Navy veteran, suffers from schizophrenia and requires medication. Without it, he may be a danger to himself or others. He was known to frequent the West Tennessee Street area, near Florida State University. His case remains unsolved, and despite extensive searches, there has been no sign of him since his disappearance.

At the time he went missing, Larry had distinguishing features such as a limp and several scars, including a half-inch scar under his left eyebrow and others on his right thigh, left shoulder, and back. He also had missing teeth and was using aliases such as "Larry Jones" and "Larry Wall." His case is classified as endangered missing due to his medical condition and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.

Last Seen: Mar 28, 1998
