Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP8030) and 9 other sources
Frank Lamont Fox, a 22-year-old from Manchester, New York, was last seen on January 1, 1983, after attending a New Year's Eve party. He left the gathering at around 1:00 a.m., opting to walk back to his residence, which was about a mile away. Despite several offers for a ride home, Fox declined them and attempted to take a shortcut through fields rather than following the main road. Unfortunately, he never made it to his destination and has not been seen or heard from since.

Because Fox lived alone, his absence wasn't reported until six days later, which delayed initial search efforts. Despite extensive searches of the surrounding area, no evidence or clues have been found regarding his disappearance. His case remains unsolved, and the New York State Police continue to seek information from the public.

Fox was described as 5'9", 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He remains listed in several missing persons databases, and investigators continue to hope for new leads in the case​
