Concern mounted for 78-year-old William H. Bicket when friends and neighbors in Tukwila, Washington, realized he had not been seen since approximately March 18, 2026. Bicket, a familiar face and regular customer at a local bar, was known to visit three to four times a week. When he failed to show up for two weeks, the bar's owner grew worried. This prolonged and uncharacteristic absence prompted the owner to visit Bicket's residence, where signs suggested something was amiss, leading to him being officially reported as a missing person. The scene at Bicket's home in Burien only deepened the apprehension. Mail with a date of March 18th was stacked up in his mail drop, untouched. A look inside revealed a toppled bar stool, an unsettling detail in an otherwise ordinary home. Further raising alarm was Bicket's white 2023 Volkswagen electric SUV, which was parked at the residence but, unusually, was not plugged in to charge. Neighbors confirmed this was out of character, as was the fact that his trash cans had not been put out for two weeks. All attempts to contact Bicket by phone were futile, as calls went straight to voicemail, compounding the fears for his well-being. The Tukwila Police Department launched an investigation into the disappearance of William Bicket. The community shared in the concern for the elderly man, who was described as a white male with brown, neck-length hair, a receding hairline, a goatee, and blue eyes. The circumstances were puzzling, pointing to a sudden interruption in his established routine. Thankfully, the search for William Bicket ended with the news that he had been located and was alive. While the specific details surrounding the period he was missing and the date of his recovery are not publicly known, the resolution brought immense relief to his concerned friends and neighbors, closing a chapter that had begun with deep uncertainty.
