Francis Frank Cantea was 20 when he vanished from Bremerton, Washington; his last confirmed sighting was July 3, 1975, when a friend said Frank returned a borrowed record, seemed unusually nervous, and left quickly after declining an invitation to stay. A few days later a friend checked on him and found his Elizabeth Avenue apartment orderly but with personal items — wallet, cash, loose change, comb and both car and house keys — scattered across his dresser. His 1965 Mustang was parked outside and appeared untouched.

Family last saw him on June 22, 1975, during a Seattle outing when he seemed in good spirits and reportedly had no known enemies or legal troubles. The case produced no significant leads, stayed open with the Bremerton Police Department, and a certificate of presumptive death was issued in 2005. The reasons for his nervousness that day, the disturbed items in his apartment and what happened to him remain unanswered.

If anyone knew Frank, lived near Elizabeth Avenue in 1975, or has information about his last days, please come forward.
