Vijaykumar Parbhubhai Patel, known as Victor or Vijay, was 18 and a senior at Aurora High School when he disappeared on March 1, 1985. He was due to work a noon to 7:00 p.m. shift at his family’s restaurant next to the Sands Motel, which his family managed. Dressed in a white t-shirt, blue jeans and cowboy boots, he left driving a green Pontiac 2+2 with Missouri plate NGZ366 and never arrived at work.

Vijay’s passport remained at home, indicating he likely did not intend to leave the country, and his car also vanished with him. Law enforcement opened an investigation but leads were scarce and the case grew cold. He is classified as an endangered missing person and remains listed as part of Aurora High School’s Class of 1985.

Does anyone from Aurora or the surrounding area remember seeing Vijay or that green Pontiac around March 1, 1985?
