Franjo Rafajac, 56, was last seen in Buffalo, New York, in the winter of 2001. An immigrant from Croatia and a Canadian citizen, Rafajac’s family last had contact with him in Buffalo, though his exact ties to the area are not fully clear from the available details. He was described as a white male, 5 feet 11 inches, weighing 165 to 180 pounds, with brown hair.

The specific circumstances of the day he disappeared are largely unknown. The Buffalo Police Department handled the investigation, and his case is registered with national missing persons databases. Investigators regard the file as a cold case; no significant leads have emerged and the passage of time has left his family without answers.

If anyone knew Franjo’s movements in Buffalo around the winter of 2001 or has information that might help, please come forward.
