Charles E. Koch was 19 when he disappeared from Ravenna, Ohio on the afternoon of July 14, 1983. He was working his paper route in a local trailer park and was last seen at about 3:30 p.m. Wearing blue jeans, a blue t-shirt with a bowling decal, brown suede oxford shoes and a gold watch, he is described as a Caucasian male, blond hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 8 inches and about 140 pounds, with a scar on one arm.

Two children reported seeing Charles talking to an unidentified white male who was in a blue compact car; after that contact he was never seen or heard from again. The Portage County Sheriff’s Office opened the case (83-5410) and lists him as endangered missing. Details are sparse and the identity of the man in the blue car and the nature of their conversation remain unknown.

If anyone remembers seeing Charles that afternoon, knows who the man in the blue compact car might have been, or has other information about his paper route or movements in Ravenna on July 14, 1983, please come forward.
