Hey everyone, I've been digging through old records about missing persons from the early '80s, and I came across Arthur Liedes from Aberdeen, WA. I found something interesting and a bit confusing. In the documentation, specifically in the WWII draft cards, it lists Arthur's birth year as 1909 and also notes his year of death as 1982, the same year he went missing. Has anyone else noticed discrepancies like this in missing persons cases from that era? I'm wondering if this could have affected the urgency or perception of the case at the time. Basically, why list a death year when he's still considered missing? Does anyone know more about how record-keeping was handled back then, especially in small communities like Aberdeen?

I have always been fascinated by the case of Arthur Liedes, and one thing that's always intrigued me is his connection to the local community. I've read accounts describing him as a long-time resident who was well-known around Aberdeen. It makes me wonder if his disappearance might have been overlooked initially because people assumed he'd just taken a trip or was visiting someone. It's puzzling how someone so rooted in the community could just vanish without any significant clues. I read somewhere that his disappearance didn't get much media attention back then, which seems odd for someone with deep ties to the area. I keep thinking about whether any local businesses he frequented might have had some surveillance or records that could've helped back in 1982. Just putting this out there—any chance someone has more details on his day-to-day life or places he visited regularly?
