Nicholas Blasetzky, 78, disappeared from his Eastway Street home in Toledo, Ohio, on the evening of June 5, 2000. A Ukrainian national living with Alzheimer’s disease, he was last seen leaving his house at about 7:00 p.m. in a white 1983 Buick Century with Ohio plate NRB-8, driving north on Eastway toward Eleanor Avenue. He was wearing a bright orange winter cap and described as a white male, 5 feet 6 inches, 150 pounds, with graying hair, hazel eyes and a full set of dentures.

Neighbors reported unusually confused behavior that day: he arrived half an hour late to church, was seen starting his car, getting out and repeating that action several times before finally driving away, and he left his garage door open. A neighbor who checked the house found his medication missing. There was no activity on his bank or credit card accounts after he left, and neither he nor his vehicle has been seen since. Searches, including of local waterways, have not produced definitive answers.

The Toledo Police Department continues to list the case as active. Does anyone in the Toledo area remember seeing a white 1983 Buick Century with plate NRB-8 or have information about Nicholas’s movements on June 5, 2000?
