Five months ago, 58-year-old Bill Daspit vanished, and his wife Lara Daspit has put up billboards in the Lafayette area in the hopes of finding him. She said he was last seen on video the evening of September 10th after wrecking his motorcycle near their home in the small town of Coteau Holmes in St. Martin Parish.
“He just disappears, and I don’t understand how a 58-year-old, white blind man can just disappear. What would anybody do with him? It’s just not right,” said Daspit.
Coteau Homles is approximately seven miles east of St. Martinville.
Daspit said her husband wears thick sunglasses due to his glaucoma and they were found alongside his helmet and motorcycle in a ditch about 100 yards from their home. She said people who know him won’t recognize him without them.
She said detectives have very few leads and if you know anything to call the St. Martin Parish Sheriff’s Office.
“Please be kind he was in a motorcycle wreck, he already suffered a previous head concussion that kept him in bed, and he’s hard of hearing. Just be kind and help him, please. We just want him home,” said Daspit.
Daspit is described as a 5-foot, 10-inches tall white male with brown hair weighing 218 pounds.
