Joseph Sireci, known to family as Joe or Cus, was 63 when he disappeared from his Philadelphia home in the late hours of May 27, 1983. He was last seen in the area of the 1100 block of Daly Street sometime between 10:00 p.m. and 4:30 a.m. He planned to stop at a laundromat near 3rd and South Streets before going to work at the Penns Landing Condominiums but never made it to the laundromat or his shift.

Joseph’s dark blue 1972 Mercury Montego sedan, Pennsylvania plate Y75089, also vanished and has never been located. He was described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches, about 190 pounds, with brown hair (balding), brown eyes, glasses with brown plastic frames, a large mole under his left armpit and a scar on his upper right arm. He may have been wearing checkered pants or blue jeans and possibly a Timex watch on his left wrist when last seen.

Police investigated and considered that he might have accidentally driven into the Delaware River, but there is no evidence to confirm that theory. Joseph’s disappearance remains unsolved. If anyone knew Joseph, saw his car in late May 1983, or has information about his movements that night, please come forward.
