Kenneth Lee Gautier was 20 when he vanished while visiting family in Ruskin, Florida, in the summer of 1975. He was last seen on June 1, 1975, after driving to Florida in a green Karmann Ghia that has never been recovered. At the time he lived with roommates in nearby Bradenton and his family says their last conversation with him was ordinary and uneventful.

Gautier was distinctive: 6 feet tall, about 130 pounds, with long hair and a slight build, and missing fingers on his right hand from a fireworks accident. In 1981 his parents received two collect-call attempts from someone identifying as Lee Gautier; both calls were cut off and traced to a Daytona Beach payphone and later to a cellblock in the Orange County Jail, but investigators could not determine who placed them. No significant leads or further clues have been reported and his disappearance remains unresolved.

If anyone knew Kenneth, saw that green Karmann Ghia after June 1, 1975, or has information about the 1981 calls, please come forward.
