Michael Sullivan, 54, and his girlfriend Camden Sylvia, 36, disappeared after an evening outing in Manhattan on November 7, 1997. The couple lived in a Pearl Street loft and were last seen near Pearl Street and Hanover Square after renting a movie and reportedly going out for a jog together. They were never seen again.

Their apartment appeared undisturbed: a recently rented video sat on the kitchen table, Sullivan’s wallet, keys, and both passports were inside, and credit cards were never used again. Missing from the home were two pairs of running shoes, one set of house keys, and a bag Sylvia used for work. Neighbors said their routines were consistent, which made the prolonged silence alarming.

Investigators noted a dispute with their landlord, Robert Bob Rodriguez, who faced financial trouble and planned large rent increases; Sylvia had presented a tenant petition the day they vanished. Rodriguez disappeared for two weeks afterward and later declined to cooperate with police. Another man linked to Rodriguez, David King, had vanished in 1991, but searches and probes produced no evidence tying Rodriguez to Sullivan and Sylvia’s disappearance.

Does anyone with knowledge of Pearl Street in 1997, or who knew Michael or Camden, have information that could help explain what happened?
