Craig Steven Chiarappa was 23 when he was reported missing from a Veterans Affairs hospital in Newington, Connecticut, on April 11, 1976. He was a patient at the facility when he left under unclear circumstances; the exact way he left the hospital is not described. His case was filed in Middlefield, Middlesex County, and the Middletown Police Department is listed as the investigating agency.

At the time of his disappearance Craig was described as between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing between 160 and 175 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, and often a mustache; he sometimes had a beard or goatee. His sister noted linear scars on both knees.

The case was entered into national missing persons databases decades later, with a NamUs record created October 25, 2017. A message from his brother in February 2026 said he wants to find closure to his bother. Does anyone have information about Craig’s time at the VA hospital or his movements around April 1976?
