Joseph Martin Schedler was 23 when he was last seen in Los Angeles on May 1, 1980. He was reportedly staying at the Union Rescue Mission in the spring and summer of 1980. Described as having brown hair with honey highlights and hazel eyes, he stood between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 10 inches and weighed about 170 to 190 pounds.

The circumstances of his disappearance are unclear and his case has remained open for over four decades. He is listed in NamUs, but does not have a Charley Project profile and there are no public signs of major leads. Some have speculated identity or personal issues may have played a role, but no conclusive evidence has been reported.
