Leonard Jon Price, also known as Lenny, was 23 years old when he was last seen in Eddington, Penobscot County, Maine, on April 14, 1983. He was reported missing from his home on Route 9 in Eddington, a rural community near Bangor, and the Maine State Police have listed his case among the state’s missing persons cases. At the time he disappeared, Leonard was described as a White male with brown hair and blue eyes, standing between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet 1 inch tall, and weighing about 150
to 170 pounds. He had a scar on his chest, wore brown-rimmed glasses, and was known to have a brown wallet on a chain.
The circumstances recorded in public case summaries describe a frightening and vulnerable moment for Leonard and his family. His grandmother contacted authorities after reporting that Leonard had tried to kill himself. According to the case information, she was able to take a firearm away from him before he fled into the woods. What followed appears to have been an urgent search for a young man believed to be in danger, with law enforcement using a police canine track in an attempt to follow where he had gone. That track reportedly led to Route 9 in Eddington, where a boot print was observed, but Leonard himself was not found.
The Maine State Police summary states that Leonard was considered a danger to himself, underscoring the concern that surrounded his disappearance from the beginning. His case was later listed in NamUs as Missing Person case MP12654, and the Doe Network classifies him as endangered missing. The available public information does not indicate that Leonard has been found alive or located deceased, and the attached case data does not list a resolution status of Alive or Deceased. Because of that, the public record continues to present his disappearance as unresolved.
Over the years, Leonard’s case has remained tied to a small set of known facts: a young man in crisis, a family member’s desperate attempt to intervene, a flight into the woods, a canine trail that reached Route 9, and a boot print that may have marked part of his path. The public record does not provide a confirmed account of what happened after that point, and no reliable online source found here provides a later verified sighting, recovery, or explanation. In overview, Leonard Jon Price’s case is the unresolved disappearance of a 23-year-old Eddington man last seen on April 14, 1983, after he left his home area during a mental health emergency; despite an immediate law enforcement response and a canine track to Route 9, he remained missing, leaving his loved ones and investigators with only fragments of his final known movements and many unanswered questions.Last Seen: Apr 14, 1983
