Jerry Dolphin was 20 when he disappeared from New Haven, Connecticut, in the autumn of 1994. The exact last-seen date is unclear but is believed to be sometime in mid-October. He was close with his family and kept weekly contact; leaving the area without a relative would have been out of character.

Jerry is described as an African-American male, about 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet 0 inches tall, 180 pounds, with brown eyes and a short afro. He had a childhood fractured arm. The New Haven Police Department opened a missing person case after his family raised the alarm, but the trail went cold.

Investigators have long suspected foul play and believe Jerry may have witnessed a double homicide at St. Lawrence Cemetery on August 21, 1994, when Warren Tarkington and Gladys Punch were shot during an apparent robbery. A suspect in that crime has been identified, and Jerry’s potential testimony has been cited as a factor in why his disappearance may be linked to the killings.

Did anyone in New Haven around October 1994 see or hear anything about Jerry’s movements before he vanished?
