Orin Anderson vanished from Mequon more than four decades ago and hasn't been seen or heard from since. Authorities suspect that he was carrying a wallet, student identification card and fishing license. He was 5 feet-9 inches tall and weighed 135 pounds.

Mequon was the country in those days and surrounded by woods and marshlands. There are also rivers very close by, as well as the Horizon Marsh. Mequon is now considered a suburb of Milwaukee, but in the 70's, it was the "sticks". My husband and his siblings grew up in Bayside, a mere 12 minutes away, but Bayside was city compared to Mequon. Today, Mequon is fairly built up and typical suburbia. Just an FYI. I'll be up there in a few weeks.
 
Orin has been officially excluded as being Gacy victim John Doe 10

Missing Person Case
 
This case interests me because I only know of ONE person from Mequon! And it just so happens that that ONE person is notorious for fraud and crafty con artistry! He posed for darn near a decade as a fake therapist and ran an entire business under this facade for years and years without anyone catching on. He is smart for all the wrong reasons. He also has obvious drug problem that he feeds through his "Mental Health" facility. It's amazing what this man can and has gotten away with. Actually kind of impressive.

Short story long this Orin fella reminds me SO much of this guy! I looked up subjects criminal records and turns out he has the same birth year as Orin too! Unfortunately I was unable to find a specific month/day though.

Here me out on my theory: What if a boy like Orin came from a broken family who could kind of care less about if he had ran away or went missing. Maybe he was troubled and too big of a handful? Maybe he went to the park that day and decided he didn't want to go home, but rather start over with a clean slate? From this day forward he would call himself L_____ K____ III. No one would question his lineage because he added that whole "the third " to the end of his name. Why certainly he must be the grandson and son of the previous LK's in his family...right?

Orin was also a Boy Scout according to an article I found published a couple of years prior to his disappearance. I'm sure he knew how to hold his own if he decided to be homeless and try to start a new life on his own terms.

Lastly I cannot find any history or genealogy records of LKIII's family. Nothing. I find it kind of odd.

Given Orin's age I imagine his parents are likely deceased or extremely up there in age. I wonder if he had any siblings? I wish there were more details about this whole thing.

What do you guys think? Could 62 year old LKIII be Orin? Another thing I would like to mention is Orin had reddish blondish hair and that hair color tends to turn white instead of grey.

75BB299F-C749-4D64-8ACA-FA494048F9BD.jpeg I came across the Orin Robin Anderson on namus it says that 16 year old Orin was last seen on August 26, 1973 at a local park in or near Mequon, Wisconsin which is two hours away from Chicago.

do you think it’s possible Orin could’ve been a John Wayne Gacy victim i tried to find the victims that were unidentified and look at body 10 and 26 do you think it could be a possible match with Gacy victims?

Body 10. https://unidentified.wikia.org/wiki/Body_10

Body 26. Body 26

body 28. Body 28

body 21. https://unidentified.wikia.org/wiki/Body_21

b
ody 5. Body 5

Do you see A
ny possible matches to Orrin?
 
No, I don’t think the lmk theory holds water without more than conjecture.

I can’t find diddly on any newspaper sites about Orin being missing at the time of his disappearance - nor can I find out who his parents were. Any info, folks?
 
Has anyone else thought that maybe "Orin Anderson" is not his real name?
