Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP56154) and 1 other source
In the winter of 1995, a man named Tamaz Suladze embarked on a new chapter in his life, leaving his home country of Georgia to travel to the United States with a friend. By November of that year, they had arrived, settling in the Rego Park neighborhood of Queens, New York. Just a few months later, in March 1996, the 48-year-old man spoke with his family over the phone for what would be the last time. After that phone call, all communication from Tamaz ceased, and he seemingly vanished without a trace, leaving his loved ones with unanswered questions that would linger for decades.

At the time he went missing, Tamaz Suladze was described as a white male, standing between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall, and weighing somewhere between 150 and 170 pounds. He had graying hair and distinct green eyes. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain shrouded in mystery, with very few details available to the public or to investigators. There have been no significant leads or clues that have surfaced to indicate what might have happened to him after that final phone call to his family. The trail went cold almost as soon as it began, leaving a void of information.

The investigation into Tamaz Suladze's disappearance has been ongoing, with his case being handled by Interpol's United States National Central Bureau. His information is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System a national database for missing persons cases. Despite these efforts, his case remains unsolved. The lack of public information and the passage of time have made the search for answers increasingly difficult. For his family, the pain of not knowing his fate has been a constant companion, a quiet but persistent ache that has spanned across years and continents. The case of Tamaz Suladze is a somber reminder of the many individuals who go missing, leaving behind families to navigate a world of uncertainty and hope for a resolution that may never come.
