Gregory Wayne Waskel was 30 when he was last seen on March 12, 1985, in Santa Cruz, California. He was reported to have traveled north to collect money owed to him for smuggling marijuana and never returned. His vehicle was later found abandoned somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, but no further clues about his whereabouts have been uncovered.

Waskel is 5 feet 8 inches, about 150 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. He is believed to have been the victim of a drug-related homicide, though there is no definitive evidence to confirm that. The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Department continues to handle the investigation and is seeking any information that could resolve the case.

If anyone knew Gregory, saw his vehicle after March 12, 1985, or has information about his trip north, please come forward.
