Bumping
 
Did he have a history of mental illness that something spooked him? Afraid of doctors? In pain and unable to control it?

Oh, ok I see he was suicidal. But why? Despondent over a failed relationship? Frustrated over a failed military career?

[QUOTE = "Sleuthster, post: 12845713, member: 3480"] Es bastante extraordinario cómo un hombre va camino a una cita con el médico y le pide a su hermana que se detenga y se aleja hacia un vacío para no ser visto nunca más. Si mi hermano hubiera hecho esto, lo habría seguido o al menos le habría preguntado por qué y adónde iba. [/ CITA]
thats right
 
It is rather extraordinary how a man is on his way to a doctor appt and he asks his sister to pull over and walks off into some void never to be seen again. If my brother did this I would have followed him or at least asked why and where he was going.

I know this comment is a few years old, but my thought would be a guy asking to do this had to pee, and went off behind a tree, etc out of sight. This would also explain why she wouldn't have followed him.

Not sure if this fits the area where he disappeared in 1975, but it is what came to my mind.
 
If he had mental health issues, he could have been genuinely afraid of the doctors appointment. Depressed people can be fearful and paranoid. Maybe he thought they were going to lock him up, etc.
