Gary Martin Cantlon was 26 when he left Riverdale, Illinois, on March 1, 1969, planning to travel by bus to Miami, Florida. He never arrived and was never heard from again. Reports describe him as a white male about 6 feet 0 inches to 6 feet 2 inches tall, 150 to 175 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, and a tattoo on his upper arm noting his blood type as AB Neg.

The specific bus line he used and what he was wearing that day are not recorded. Later biographical details identify him as a father who left behind a son; his parents’ obituaries listed him as deceased. The Chicago Police Department still lists the case as open.

Does anyone have memories of Gary, knowledge of his travel plans in 1969, or information that could help explain what happened after he left Riverdale?
