Walter Gressley, 68, disappeared from Fort Wayne, Indiana, after leaving home on December 4, 1991, saying he planned to wash his car. He was driving a 1988 burgundy Chevrolet Cavalier station wagon with Indiana plate 2G4022 and was last seen wearing a black jacket, blue pants, and a multicolored plaid shirt. He had gray hair, wore glasses, and had blue eyes; he was living with Parkinson’s Disease at the time.

Neither Walter nor his car has ever been found. In the two years after his disappearance, his Social Security benefits continued to be automatically deposited and checks were written against the account, suggesting someone had access to his finances; that lead later went cold. His wife, Rita Marie Scherr, who had a son named Stanley with him, died in 2003 without learning what happened.

Investigators have treated the case as suspicious and it remains unsolved. If anyone knew Walter, his routine, or saw that Cavalier after December 4, 1991, please share what you remember.
