Taras Petriv was 25 when he was last seen in Rochester, New York, on March 31, 1983. He was described as 6 feet tall, about 190 pounds, with shoulder-length brown hair, blue eyes and a very round face. When last seen he wore a three-quarter length camel-colored coat and may have been wearing a hat. His father reported him missing.

The circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear. Initial investigative efforts produced few leads, and the case eventually went cold. The Rochester Police Department still lists the case as open and his information has been entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. Little public information has emerged since that spring day, and his family continues without answers.

If anyone knew Taras, saw him in Rochester around March 31, 1983, or has information that could help, please share what you know with the Rochester Police Department.
