Paul Anthony Lambert, known as Tony, was 34 when he was last seen in New Orleans on September 8, 1981. He was in the city on business and staying at the Maison Dupuy Hotel on Toulouse Street. Witness reports from that day say he was seen getting into a car with a blonde woman. He is described as a white male, brown hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 11 inches, 180 pounds, with a scar on his left ear.

Lambert had recent ties to Greenfield, Indiana, through dealings with Stephen Cabe Snedegar. Lambert and another man reportedly made an offer to buy Snedegar’s waste oil business shortly before the August 1981 murder of Lora Lynn Morris, who was Snedegar’s daughter. Lambert traveled to New Orleans for a meeting with Snedegar just before he vanished. Snedegar also figures in the unresolved March 1982 disappearance of Charles Darwin Chuck Smith and the 1986 disappearance of Gertrude Snedegar, his ex-wife. Snedegar reportedly told some people he and Lambert took an airplane ride over the Gulf of Mexico and Lambert did not return from that trip.

No resolution has been reached in Lambert’s case. Does anyone remember seeing Tony in New Orleans that week or have information about his trip with Stephen Snedegar?
