Search continues for missing couple

The Chevrolet pickup was found about 2 miles from the home of Richard and Gladis Russell, who also are missing. "This has caused all of us to be concerned for the well-being of the Russells," Kunze said of the couple, who are 84 and 85 years old, respectively.

Logan county authorities know that their 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis was last seen at a southbound I-75 rest stop in Butler County between 11:30 and 11:45 Wednesday night.

A state trooper on patrol ran the license plate number (PDG 13E), which is a routine practice for officers passing through such areas at night because it sometimes turns up stolen cars or other problems.

At that point, however, no one knew that the Russells were missing.

I hope and pray this poor couple is find alive and well.

swanniee11 · Feb 18, 2011

This may be wishful thinking but seeing as there is no report of a struggle in the house, he didn't kill them there which means they are probably with him, he may not want to hurt them but took them with him so they couldn't call the police on him. Let's hope when he gets to where ever he needs to get to, he will let them go. Of course, they could go to the police at that point and tell. I'm praying for a good outcome of this, to many peoples lives have been ruined. IMO

Ok, I was just about to take a break and something hit me (2 things) 1. Wheres the dog? If they took the dog, just how many pit stops is Sam going to take for them, 2 elderly people and a dog???????
2. Did this nurse that was supposed to come to the house followup on anything?

Is the rest stop in a wooded area? Have LE conducted a search of the rest stop?

I'm not sure but they should have a description of the dog just in case. You may be driving by and see a person but not their face but if its a little white shi-tsu may get someone's attention. imo

lishac23 · Feb 18, 2011

I agree!!! Anything that would make them stand out from any other elderly couple.

raying: for there safe return

truthsleuth · Feb 18, 2011

I came home tonight believing I would find that Littleton had been caught and the Russells were safe. Unfortunately, it hasn't turned out that way. Yet.

I believe the Russells are far, far wiser than Sam. I am hoping they can reason with Littleton and perhaps convince him the best thing he can do for himself is surrender. That's all we can hope for.

This couple is in a perilous situation, but I'm hoping for the best, and perhaps with an older person's wisdom, kindness, and reasoning, they can get this guy Littleton to end this situation and turn himself in.

My prayers are for the Russells. Godspeed.

Richard Russell has diabetes and had a stroke three to four years ago, according to his nephew. He said, "Iit appeared like the Russell's medication may have gone with them."

This gives us reason to be hopeful, jmo

84 year old Richard and 85 year old Gladis have been missing since at least Thursday when their home was first checked by the Logan County Sheriff's Department.

The Russell's have a connection to Samuel Littleton II, the person of interest in the Tiffany Brown murder.
