David Harry Bleaney, 46, of Charleston, West Virginia, disappeared in the summer of 1975. His last known address was on Scraggs Drive. He was described as dependable, with a stable job and a loving family, and his sudden disappearance was out of character.

Bleaney was scheduled to appear in court in September 1975 but did not show up. At the time he went missing he was reported between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet 1 inch tall, 180 to 190 pounds, with brown hair, hazel eyes and a pronounced limp favoring his left leg. He was known to always wear dress clothing: black pants, a white shirt, a belt and dress shoes. The Charleston Police Department investigated but the case went cold.

The passage of time has made locating witnesses and clear memories difficult, yet his family’s hope for answers remains. If anyone knew David, saw him in Charleston in the summer of 1975, or has any information about his whereabouts, please come forward.
