Charles Napolitano, 41, was last seen in East Hartford, Connecticut, on November 13, 1977. He was described as 6 feet tall, about 175 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a tattoo of an Indian maiden’s head on his right upper arm. His family had recently suffered the death of his mother, and reports say the period before his disappearance was difficult for him and his relatives.

Details about where he was or what he was doing the day he vanished are scarce. He had a history of prior arrests, but it is unknown whether that played any role in his disappearance. Law enforcement later entered his information into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System and investigators have expressed the belief he may have been the victim of foul play, but no significant developments have been reported.

If anyone knew Charles, saw him around November 13, 1977, or has information that might help resolve this long-unsolved disappearance, please share what you know.
