Frank Nash, 35, disappeared from New Fairfield, Connecticut, after a brief series of ordinary interactions in late May 1999. His father last saw him at the family home on Newfane Road on May 20, 1999. The next day Frank called his father from the Department of Motor Vehicles in Danbury to ask about vehicle registration and said he had to meet someone and would be home the following day. That was the last time the family heard from him.
Weeks later, on June 3, 1999, Frank’s white 1994 Dodge Ram pickup was found locked and abandoned in Salt Lake City, Utah; his clothes were inside. His parents were notified on June 6 and then reported him missing. Frank had lived with his parents for about five years, was unmarried, worked intermittently in construction, and was described as quiet, sober, and law-abiding. He was born Frank Asselin and had legally changed his name to Nash.
There were no known ties to the western United States, and no evidence of foul play was reported at the truck scene. The cross-country appearance of his vehicle and the final phone call about meeting an unnamed person remain unexplained. If anyone knew Frank, his movements in late May 1999, or why his truck might have ended up in Utah, please share what is known.
