Joseph A. Krainak, Jr., 58, was last seen in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, on the evening of January 16, 2008. He worked at the Burlington Coat Factory and was observed boarding a Port Authority bus at about 9:20 p.m. after his shift; he never arrived home and was not reported missing until January 18 when his brother-in-law, the Baldwin Township police chief, checked his Brentwood apartment and found it empty.

Investigators who searched the apartment found Krainak’s wallet with money and bank cards and his glasses left behind, details that led police to consider his disappearance out of character. Searches of nearby parks, the library, woods and bus stops produced no leads, and the inquiry stalled. The case has remained open with little new information reported.

It is unknown whether Krainak met someone after boarding the bus or was accosted along his route. Does anyone who rode the Port Authority route in West Mifflin on January 16, 2008, or who knew Joseph, have information that could help?
