Donald Gatti was 52 when he was last seen in New Britain, Connecticut, on November 5, 1982. He is described as a Caucasian male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, about 200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. The day he disappeared began normally, but his failure to return or make contact quickly alarmed family and friends.

Investigators found few leads early on. Gatti’s known gambling problem was noted as a possible factor, but concrete evidence explaining his sudden absence never emerged and the investigation eventually went cold. His case has remained listed in national missing persons databases.

Decades later a sunken vehicle was found with a license plate that matched Gatti’s, a potential development in a case that has haunted his family for years. Does anyone have information about Donald’s last known movements, associates, or the vehicle linked to his plate?
