Edward A. Ratynski Jr., 53, was last seen by a neighbor leaving his boardinghouse on La Vista Drive in Fallsburg, New York, on December 13, 2007. An avid fisherman, he may have been heading to a local body of water, possibly Conklin Pond, to check ice thickness. He was wearing a black jacket, black jeans, and white sneakers, and did not own a vehicle. He was described as a white male with brown hair, blue eyes and distinctive tattoos on his lower left arm, lower right arm and upper right arm.

Edward was reported missing on December 16, 2007. The New York State Police found no activity on his bank account after he was last seen, and searches of Conklin Pond produced no clues. There were no immediate signs of foul play, yet his sudden silence was out of character for him. The case remains unsolved and the New York State Police continue to list him as a missing person.

If anyone has information about Edward’s movements in December 2007 or remembers seeing him near Conklin Pond or elsewhere in Fallsburg, please come forward with what you know.
