On Saturday, June 30, 1984, 21-year-old Harry Milligan finished his job painting a house and later met some friends at a bar called Waterworks in Albia, Iowa. Just over a ten-minute drive from his home in nearby Avery, Iowa. We don’t know for sure what transpired inside the bar that night. There have been stories that Harry won a large sum of money in a card game, but this can’t be substantiated. Harry left the bar with his friends around closing time, and they said they grabbed a six-pack to go and rode around cruising. They returned to the area of the bar and went their separate ways. His friends report seeing Harry drive off in the direction of his home.
The following morning, Harry’s mom was worried that he hadn’t returned home. She began calling around, but no one had seen or heard from Harry. Later, after searching the roads between Albia and Avery, his mom called the police to report Harry missing. There have been many rumors about what happened to Harry, but more than 36 years later, they are still searching for Harry.
