In July of 1986, Frank Ross visited his relatives in Claremont, Oklahoma.

At the end of the weekend, he headed home to Stillwell, which was nearby.

Two days after he left, Frank's brother and roommate, Teddy, called up his sister, Pam Charles, to ask when Frank was coming home.

My brother in Stillwell, Teddy, he had called and asked, you know, where's Frank?

And said, well, isn't he there? And he said, no, that he never showed up.

Frank Ross never showed up and was never seen alive again.

From A&E, this is Cold Case Files.

The morning after Teddy called Pam, Frank was still missing.

The family was worried.

It wasn't like Frank to not show up and not call.

Pam searched around town, checking out the places he visited a lot.

There's no sign of Frank.

But she found his car in a local parking lot, abandoned.

This is Pam Charles.

And then that's when we really started getting, we knew that something was wrong.

Frank's family contacted the police and the case was assigned to Detective John Cummings from the Claremore PD.

The detective attempted to retrace Frank's steps on the evening that he went missing.

Detective Cummings search led him to the tack room lounge, a local bar.

This is Detective Cummings.

Some of the witnesses were able to place him back in the area of the bar where they were playing pool with a gentleman named Kent Hill, James Kent Hill.

Apparently Mr. Ross had some cash on him and was buying a lot of drinks and apparently had bragged that he had a large sum of money on him.

Pretty typical, you know, two guys at a bar playing pool and bragging about who's the best.
