SILVER ALERT — MISSING MAN

I’ve shared his story with you recently, but the Overland Park Police Department shared an alert today for a missing man.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“The Overland Park Police Department is requesting the public's assistance in locating 73-year-old Steven Lester Lieurance, who was last seen on June 2, 2026, after failing to return home from work in Olathe, Kansas. Mr. Lieurance was last seen around 4:00 p.m. that day, driving a 2008 silver Mercedes Benz convertible with Kansas license plate SHOX77.

While recent leads suggested the vehicle was traveling through Reeds Spring, Missouri, a subsequent search yielded no signs of Mr. Lieurance or his vehicle. Our investigators are actively working with regional partners to pursue all leads. Anyone who may have spotted Mr. Lieurance or his vehicle in the southwest Missouri area is asked to contact their local law enforcement or the Overland Park Police Department at 913-895-6300.

Hanging out during a rain delay at the Kansas City Royals game. Though, it’s been mostly hot and sunny — no rain.

I hope it starts before I have to emcee the Blood Cancer United - Kansas gala in Kansas City tonight. 😂🫶

Soaking up the town while we are here. What else should we explore in Kansas City?

I’ve had the privilege of working with businesses during fundraising for Blood Cancer United - Kansas.

It was such a treat to work with Culver's and Culver's for a giveback day that packed a punch. Nick, the gentleman in the glasses, and his team were wonderful to work with. My team enjoyed visiting with customers as they ate lunch and dinner. The Culver’s team really rolled out the red carpet with us — so kind.

Thank you for helping us get one step closer to our $500,000 goal for Kansas.

We are forever customers. 🫶🍨

If you have a restaurant or business that would like to do a giveback day, we have less than three weeks left. Let’s make it happen!!

Let’s help people fighting cancer. 🫶
