Dean Donnadio was 40 when he was last seen by his wife in Youngstown, Ohio, sometime in September 2005. He’s described as between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 9 inches, 150 to 170 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes and a scar on his right arm. His family reports he routinely called on birthdays and holidays, and his wife says she still watches for men who wear a shirt wrapped around their head the way Dean did at roofing jobs.

His disappearance was not reported right away; he was officially declared missing on January 12, 2006, roughly four months after he was last seen. Police say he had a history of substance abuse and that he may have run into trouble with people he knew. The Youngstown Police Department has kept the case open and submitted family DNA to NamUs in hopes of future identification.

What did anyone see or hear in Youngstown around September 2005 that might help fill the gap between Dean’s last sighting and the delayed missing-person report?
