William Garlick, 27, of Worcester, Massachusetts, vanished after leaving town on September 13, 1982. He and an acquaintance, John V.J. Joyce Jr., drove Garlick’s black 1980 Corvette reportedly toward Alton, Maine, to collect a $22,000 debt. The following day the Corvette was found abandoned in the Bangor Mall parking lot in Bangor, Maine. The car’s interior was damaged and Garlick’s wallet remained inside, but neither man was present.

Both men disappeared without a trace. Investigators over the years have linked the trip to disputes over drug-related debts, though no foul play has been conclusively proven. Local and state authorities, including the Maine State Police, pursued leads but the men’s whereabouts remain unknown.

Are there any readers who remember seeing the Corvette in the Bangor Mall area in mid-September 1982 or who have information about Garlick or Joyce’s movements that week?
