Stanley Walker Harris, 70, was last seen in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on September 20, 2010. Harris lived a transient lifestyle and had been staying in a van; family members reported him missing to police on October 20, 2010, roughly one month after his last confirmed contact. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing approximately 120 pounds, with gray or partially gray hair and blue eyes, who walks with a cane. He has a serpent tattoo, an eagle tattoo, and a knife tattoo on his left arm, a bug tattoo on his right arm, and the words "Don't Cry Baby" tattooed on his abdomen. Harris is also known to go by the names James Fisher and Harris Walker, and his nickname is "Stan." No description of the clothing he was wearing at the time of his disappearance has been published in publicly available sources.
Harris's van, in which he had reportedly been living, was later found abandoned at Falls Park in Sioux Falls; he has not been seen or heard from since. The Sioux Falls Police Department is the lead investigating agency. Publicly available sources do not report any named suspects, persons of interest, or related incidents connected to his disappearance, nor any published search or canine-search details.

His case is classified as Endangered Missing and remains open and unsolved. The case is catalogued with the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number MP8699 (case created November 29, 2010) and is listed by aggregator databases including the Charley Project and the Doe Network.
