Greg James Birch was 20 when he left his family home in Geneva, Illinois, in March 1982 saying he was going to his grandmother’s, a few blocks away, and never arrived. He had taken his brother’s bicycle without permission; the bicycle was later found abandoned in Hinckley. Police located Greg in Dixon, Illinois, and his parents picked him up from the Dixon Police Department, but after they were in the car he ran away, reportedly saying he would never go back to Geneva.

Greg was last seen wearing Levi’s jeans and a Levi’s jean jacket, a green shirt and white high-top tennis shoes. He was described as between 5 feet 11 inches and 6 feet 1 inch, about 175 to 180 pounds, with curly brown hair, blue eyes and a six-inch scar on his right shin. There has been no official contact from him since that day and the investigation remains open with no significant leads reported.

If anyone knew Greg, saw him in March 1982, or has information about his movements after he left his parents’ car in Dixon, please come forward.
