Reed was last seen in his hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah on October 12, 1964. After his family returned from church, he went out to feed his two dogs and take them for a walk. He lived near Emigration Canyon, near 1400 South and 3000 East. He told his sister he would be back within half an hour, in time for dinner. A friend saw Reed walking the dogs near the old St. Mary of the Wasatch building, near Wasatch Boulevard, at 1:00 p.m. Reed and both animals disappeared and none of them have ever been seen again. Both dogs were German shorthair pointers. His loved ones don't believe he ran away, as he left all his belongings behind at home, including money he'd earned from his paper route. Investigators stated there was no evidence of foul play in Reed's disappearance, but his case remains unsolved. He has blond hair and blue eyes. Reed had braces on his upper and lower teeth at the time of his disappearance. He was last seen wearing a white cotton knit shirt, a reversible parka with one side black and one side blue, Levi's jeans and sneakers.
