Reed Taylor Jeppson was having a normal Sunday on October 12, 1964. The 15-year-old and his family went to church in their hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah.
When the teen returned home, he fed his two beloved dogs whom he was training the animals to bird hunt. That afternoon, he decided to take them for a walk. As he left, he told his sister he'd return before dinner.
Later that afternoon, a friend saw Jeppson and the dogs walking past a local church. It was the last time anybody ever saw the teenager.
Police began investigating after Jeppson failed to return home that night. Sadly, there wasn't much to go on. They tried retracing his possible walk route, but no sign of the teenager or the dogs ever turned up.
The authorities could not determine whether Jeppson had met foul play or if he had run away on his own.
His disappearance remains a mystery.
