John Dolan Phillips, 35, was last seen April 16, 1983, at his home on Larkin Street in San Francisco. He disappeared with his rare 1967 Citroen convertible, a car later found in 1985 after accumulating significant parking fees in an underground lot and sold at a lien sale. Phillips’ wallet and some belongings were still inside the vehicle, but no clear clues explaining his disappearance turned up.

At the time he vanished Phillips worked as an importer of Asian textiles and was coping with personal stresses: a new baby and problems in a sixteen-year marriage. Early inquiries considered possible drug-related links, but that line of inquiry was dismissed. A private investigator was hired and investigators pursued leads, but the case remains unsolved and his whereabouts unknown.

If anyone knew John, his routines, or remembers the Citroen in San Francisco in the mid-1980s, please share what you know.
