Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP22155) and 7 other sources
Terrance Paul Beghin, age 26, was last seen on November 1, 1986, in Port Charlotte, Florida. That night, he left his home around midnight, driving his limited edition white 1982 Chevrolet Corvette. Approximately an hour later, Terrance called one of his roommates to offer a ride home but never arrived to pick him up. Terrance has not been heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, Terrance was not carrying his insulin, which he needed to take daily due to diabetes, raising concerns about his safety.

In 2013, investigators located Terrance’s Corvette submerged in a canal in Punta Gorda, but his body was not found inside the vehicle. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, and although foul play is suspected, no definitive answers have been uncovered. Terrance's case remains unsolved, and his family and law enforcement continue to seek information about what may have happened to him that night​
Last Seen: Nov 1, 1986
