Butricks was last seen on June 29, 2009, leaving the 1421 Lounge, a bar on South Van Buren Street in Enid, Oklahoma, at approximately 10:30 p.m. He had been drinking and brought a bottle of vodka inside the establishment, which only permits beer. As a result, the manager asked him to leave. Butricks exited the bar on foot, heading south, and has not been seen or heard from since. Earlier that day, he had a disagreement with his mother regarding finances. She served as his financial caretaker due to his limited mental capacity. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, and his case remains unsolved.
