Terrance Lee Schram was 26 and serving in the U.S. Navy when the last contact with his family occurred in early 1982. The family received a phone call they believe came from Florida; during that call he said he was thinking of turning himself in to the Navy after being declared a deserter. No confirmed location for that call has been found and there has been no contact since.

Reports about his disappearance conflict. He was officially listed as missing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and some accounts say he went missing on June 1, 1981, while on leave from Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, en route to visit a girlfriend in Montreal, Quebec. Other reports mention treatment at a naval hospital in 1981 before travel to Florida. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches, 147–150 pounds, brown hair in a military-style cut, brown eyes, a possible scorpion tattoo on his upper left arm, and a brown mustache in later photos.

The family requested help from the Sturgeon Bay Police Department in July 2008; investigators have found the lack of a specific Florida location for the 1982 call a major obstacle. Does anyone have information about Schram’s movements in 1981–82 or remember a servicemember matching his description in Philadelphia, Florida, or Montreal?
