Lieurance was last seen driving a 2008 silver Mercedes-Benz convertible, leaving the Olathe, KS, practice he worked at. The Kansas license plate on his car is SHOX77.
Some leads suggested that Lieurance was traveling through Reeds Spring, MO. However, a search of the area yielded no signs of Lieurance or his vehicle, according to police.
Investigators are actively working with regional partners to pursue all leads. Anyone who may have spotted Lieurance or his vehicle should contact the Overland Park Police Department at (913) 895-6300.
In addition to calling for prayers and sending positive thoughts to his family, former patients shared their feelings about Lieurance on Facebook.
Kristin Anthony wrote, “I hope he's okay! He is such a funny, kind person. I was sad when he left Wichita and I had to find another dentist. I was his patient for 32 years.”
Linda Robert remembered him as a “great dentist,” writing, “He was a jokester. We hated when he moved but I understood he wanted to be close to family. Pray he is found ok.”
