Ryan Jan Kemp, 30, was last seen on Tuesday, September 15, 1981, having lunch at the King’s IGA Supermarket in North Whitehall Township. A resident of Germansville, he had been a good student and athlete at Slatington High School, attended Pennsylvania State University for a couple of years, and later worked for the New Jersey Zinc Co. Before being laid off he was studying part time at Lehigh County Community College and hoped to pursue mechanical engineering.

Two days after the last sighting, Kemp’s truck was found abandoned in the parking lot of the Buffalo Inn on Route 309 in Schnecksville, miles from where he’d been seen. There was no further activity or contact from him, and the Pennsylvania State Police have long suspected foul play. In 1989 his mother petitioned to have him declared legally dead, but the investigation remains an open cold case.

What details about Ryan’s movements that September might someone remember or be able to share?
