Wayne G. Flagg was 56 when he was last seen by his wife, Molly, at their Parker Avenue home in Massena, New York, on August 5, 1980. He told Molly he was going to visit a friend but never arrived. Wayne is described as 6 feet 2 inches, about 170 pounds, with brown hair and gray eyes.

His vehicle was later found abandoned in a village parking lot in Massena, unsecured with the windows open. The New York State Police from the Ray Brook barracks took over the investigation; dental records are available for identification, but no substantive leads or witnesses have emerged. Wayne’s wife Molly, with whom he had shared 31 years of marriage, died in 2023; the couple had four children: a son, John, and daughters Susan, Cynthia, and Karen.

What information about Wayne’s movements that day, his friendships, or anyone who might have seen him leaving the house could help resolve this longtime disappearance?
