Melvin Wiley, 47, chief of the Hinckley Township Police Department, was last seen on July 28, 1985. Two days later his tan 1980 Toyota station wagon was found locked at Lakefront State Park on Lake Erie in Cleveland with his clothing, wallet containing $15, police identification, and badge inside. His apartment was left unusually neat with food and water for his two cats, but several personal items were missing, including most long-sleeved shirts, his music collection, address book, a mystery novel manuscript, and a book of poetry.

Investigators found mixed signals. Wiley had told a friend he planned to go swimming with an out-of-town visitor despite being a non-swimmer who avoided sun exposure and never bought a swimsuit. A letter found on a typewriter ribbon said he was tired of his life and intended to disappear, and a bus and cab schedule was located in a uniform pocket; his normally full desk drawer held only his apartment key. He made no large bank withdrawals and left his pension fund intact. He was legally declared dead in 1993, but the disappearance remains unresolved.

Did anyone in Hinckley or the Cleveland lakeshore area recall seeing Wiley, his Toyota, or unusual activity around late July 1985?
