Charles David Hope, a 41-year-old real estate broker and former chairman of the Hernando Port Authority, was last seen leaving Redfish Seafood and Steak House in Hernando Beach, Florida, on the evening of March 31, 1982. He had dined with his uncle and was carrying a plastic container of mustard greens, intending to visit his girlfriend. He resigned from the Port Authority two months before his disappearance.

On April 6, 1982, Hope’s white pickup truck was found locked and abandoned at his real estate office with about $2,000 in personal items inside, which was said to be unusual for him. Later that year clothes and shoes believed to be his were located near his workplace, though they were not the garments he had been wearing when last seen. His Social Security number showed no activity after his disappearance, and his family had him declared legally dead in 1992. No concrete evidence explaining what happened has been reported.

Does anyone have information about Hope’s last known movements, his circle in Hernando Beach at the time, or memories of that pickup truck after April 6, 1982?
