Willie Lee Johnson, 26, vanished from Akron, Ohio in the winter of 1978 after being last seen at the Tropicana Lounge on North Howard Street. He was described as 5 feet 7 inches, about 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, burn scars on his chest, left arm and both legs, and a cut scar on his right cheek. That night he was reportedly wearing a black shirt, a blue denim jacket and green pants.

Sometime after he was seen at the Tropicana Lounge, his vehicle was found abandoned with his personal belongings inside but without Willie. The Akron Police Department, with involvement from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, has treated the circumstances as suspicious and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone who knew Willie or who lived near North Howard Street in early 1978 see him or his car around the time he disappeared?
