Vincent Durso, 75, vanished from the Bronx in the spring of 2010; the exact date is uncertain. He was last seen in Crotona Park after spending time at the tennis courts and later drove his wife’s home health aide to the area of East 166th Street and Boston Road. After that drop-off he was never seen or heard from again.

Four days later his black 1997 Honda Accord was found legally parked at Crotona Park East and Suburban Place. The car showed no signs of a struggle and investigators reportedly found no suspicious fingerprints inside. Durso lived on Hollywood Avenue with his wife since 1968, was an elder at Fort Schuyler Presbyterian Church, managed rental properties, and had known medical issues including a VP shunt and a chest scar from valve surgery. Reports say he may have sometimes carried substantial cash and that two of his properties were sold in 2013 to a high-ranking NYPD member at a price viewed as below market value.

The disappearance went cold over time and, with no definitive explanation, a surrogate court judge declared him legally dead in June 2015. Does anyone who knew Vincent or his routines around Crotona Park have information that could help clarify what happened?
