An 82-year-old Lubbock man who relies on supplemental oxygen and his 81-year-old wife have been missing since leaving a Thanksgiving gathering in Panhandle, Texas. Now, investigators say a license-plate reader picked up their silver 2024 Toyota Camry hundreds of miles off course in eastern New Mexico.
According to officials, Gary and Linda Lightfoot left a Thanksgiving gathering in Panhandle around 3 p.m. on November 27, 2025, bound for their home in Lubbock — a trip of roughly 150 miles — but they never arrived. Texas officials issued a formal alert Sunday.
