John Alvin Bealer disappeared from his home in Heidelberg Township, near Germansville, Pennsylvania on July 30, 1993. He was 50 at the time and had left his job at a used car dealership around noon before returning home and being last seen there, apparently working on a vehicle. His tools and personal effects were left where he’d been using them, and there were no signs of struggle or robbery.

Bealer is 5 feet 3 inches and weighed about 140 to 150 pounds in 1993, with collar-length graying hair and green eyes. He was wearing a t-shirt, blue work pants, and brown work boots when last seen. Searches that weekend involved nearly 300 people but yielded no trace. Investigators have described the circumstances as suspicious and have at times considered that he might have traveled to Florida, possibly living under an alias in the Cocoa Beach or Daytona Beach area.

Anyone who knew John, his routines, or who was in the Heidelberg Township or those Florida areas in late July 1993 is asked to come forward with information.
