Michal Szkodzinski was 85 when he was last seen on October 15, 1997, at his Rampart-area residence in Los Angeles. His landlord reported him missing after he fell behind on rent. At the time he was described wearing dark pants, a white shirt and a tan derby hat; he had gray hair, brown eyes, wore glasses, stood 5 feet 8 inches and weighed about 170 pounds.

Investigators noted he may have had family in Chicago and suggested he could be in a hospital or care facility, but that has not been confirmed. There are no significant clues about where he went after last being seen at home, and the Los Angeles Police Department continues to list the case as open.

If anyone knew Michal, his habits, medical needs, or possible contacts in Chicago, can you share information with the LAPD?
