Mark Baranek, 57, was last seen on August 11, 2015, at World II, an adult entertainment store and his workplace on Kean Street in West Babylon, New York. He managed the shop and often lived there. At the time he disappeared he was about 5 feet 8 inches, 140 pounds, with blue eyes and graying hair, wearing blue jeans, a tan vest, and a blue New York Giants sweatshirt.

Accounts differ about what happened that night. One version says he told someone he was running an errand and did not return; another, reported by his brother, says Mark closed his shift at midnight and it was unusual for him to be missing the next morning. Spare clothes, cigarettes, and pain medication for a back condition were left behind, and his family says he was hard-working and wouldn’t have walked away without notice. The Suffolk County Police Department investigated but the case went cold and his family later appealed to the public for help.

Does anyone who lived or worked near Kean Street in August 2015 remember seeing Mark or noticing anything out of the ordinary that night?
