Paul James Charapko, 23, vanished from Miami Springs, Florida, on August 28, 1975. He was traveling in his sister’s car to a doctor’s appointment when he asked her to pull over, stepped out, and walked away; he was never seen again.

Paul had a documented history of mental health struggles, including prior suicide attempts and a discharge from the U.S. Army for those issues. At the time he disappeared he reportedly needed medication and his family knew he was fragile. He is 6 feet 2 inches, about 200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, and a fused right ankle from a car accident that may have left visible scars.

The disappearance remains unsolved and is classified as endangered missing by local authorities in Miami Springs. If anyone knew Paul, saw him on August 28, 1975, or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward.
