Henry Hank Gafforio, 22, vanished from Port Richmond, Staten Island in the early morning of June 9, 1984. He was last seen about 4:00 a.m. at the Spa Lounge after being denied service earlier that night at Mugs Away. That evening he failed to return to the home on Heberton Avenue that he shared with his parents and three brothers and was reported missing by 7:00 p.m.

Gafforio was described as mentally disabled, functioning at about the level of a 15-year-old. He wore a red and white striped t-shirt, dark blue jeans and white sneakers when he disappeared. Investigators have long considered the possibility of foul play, and some accounts place him with a man resembling Andre Rand, who lived on the same block and was active on Staten Island during that era. Rand has never been charged in Gafforio’s disappearance.

The case remains unsolved with no definitive physical evidence tying anyone to his disappearance. Does anyone who was in Port Richmond that night or who knew Henry have information that could help provide answers?
