Donald Connell, a 28-year-old U.S. Marine Corps veteran, vanished from Newport, Rhode Island, after leaving his parents’ home on Record Street on the evening of December 2, 1986. He intended to walk one street over to his sister’s house but never arrived, and his family initially assumed he had other plans. He was formally reported missing ten days later, on his sister’s birthday.

Connell is described as 6 feet 0 inches tall, weighing between 150 and 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Local searches and investigations produced few leads and no evidence explaining his sudden disappearance; the case is classified as endangered missing. The circumstances have been described as suspicious, and his whereabouts remain unknown.

Does anyone who lived in Newport in December 1986 or who knew the Connell family have information that could help explain what happened to Donald?
