Martin Franzel, 76, disappeared from Minneapolis on June 14, 1963, after leaving his home on the 6000 block of 3rd Avenue South for his usual early morning walk between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m. He walked with a limp and used a cane. A relative saw him near 66th Street and Nicollet Avenue, about a mile and a half from home, and he was last seen wearing a cotton shirt, khaki pants, a tan cloth cap, and metal-rim eyeglasses. He had gray hair and blue eyes.

An extensive search of surrounding areas turned up no trace. Given his age and medical condition there is speculation he may have suffered an accident, but no evidence has confirmed that. The Minneapolis Police Department lists him as a missing person and the circumstances remain unsolved.

If anyone remembers Martin, his route, or saw him that morning, please share information with the Minneapolis Police Department.
