Angelo Andy Puglisi was 10 when he vanished from Lawrence, Massachusetts, after an afternoon at the Higgins Memorial Swimming Pool on August 21, 1976. He last spoke to family around 3:30 p.m.; a lifeguard reported seeing him walking around the pool area at 5:45 p.m. He never returned home in the Stadium Housing Projects and did not reappear.

Search efforts were extensive and included the National Guard, local volunteers and divers in nearby rivers, but no trace of Andy was found. Early speculation that he had run away because of his parents’ divorce was dismissed and investigators shifted focus to possible foul play. Two suspects named in later inquiries were Charles Pierce and Wayne Chapman, though neither has been conclusively linked to the disappearance. A documentary titled Have You Seen Andy? renewed public attention, but the case remains unsolved.

If anyone has information about Andy’s movements on August 21, 1976, or remembers seeing him that afternoon, please share what you know.
