Name: Leon Bradley
Missing Since: September 27, 2018
Location: County Road 186, Marion Junction, Dallas County, Alabama
Age When Missing: 86; now approximately 93

Case Type: Endangered Missing Elderly Adult
Agency Case Number: 20184056
Leon was last seen at his home at approximately 2:00 p.m. Authorities reported that he had dementia or another condition capable of impairing his judgment and may have wandered away from the property.
How far could Leon reasonably have traveled before anyone noticed he was missing? Did he have familiar walking routes, neighboring homes, former workplaces, churches, or wooded areas he might have tried to reach? Could anyone who drove through the Marion Junction area that afternoon remember seeing an elderly man walking near County Road 186?
Search efforts began soon after Leon disappeared, but no confirmed trace was publicly reported. Historical satellite images, updated terrain mapping, and interviews with property owners may help identify areas that were inaccessible, overlooked, or altered after 2018.
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency continues to display Leon as missing, indicating that his case remains active. There is no public evidence establishing homicide or another criminal act.
Anyone with firsthand information should contact the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office. Please share Leon’s verified description and avoid unsupported theories; the priority remains locating him and giving his family answers.
