Billy J Lange, also known as, Wild Bill, was last seen near Binger, Oklahoma, on March 3, 2016. At that time, he was a resident of Binger, but worked as a ranch hand in Hinton, Oklahoma.

 The day he disappeared he had placed an order for tires at a local tire shop in Hinton, as well as making a customary stop at a convenience store for his daily coffee ritual. We have attached a picture here of what he was last seen wearing.

 On March 4, Bill’s gold Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck was located on the side of Interstate 40 eastbound, just west of the Calumet exit near mile marker 115. Inside the vehicle were all of the personal items he typically took with him to work, including his keys, eyeglasses, and cigarettes. The truck had damage to the driver’s side window and had stickers on the back window.  

Billy is a white male with brown hair and blue eyes. Bill has a tattoo of a scorpion on each shoulder and a tattoo of his last name “LANGE” across his upper back. He has burn scars on both forearms from welding. At the time of his disappearance, Bill’s hair was shoulder-length and he had a gray mustache.

 Based on the circumstances surrounding how Bill’s truck was found raise the possibility of foul play.

 Currently, his case remains unresolved, and it is classified as a missing person case under suspicious circumstances.
