Salvatore Sal Manzo, a 60-year-old white man with graying hair and brown eyes, vanished from Kansas City after attending a 3:30 p.m. wake at Passantino Funeral Chapel near Independence Avenue and Garfield on September 4, 1987. He was last seen wearing a light brown shirt, brown pants, brown shoes and his bifocal glasses. His beige 1982 Oldsmobile Toronado was found abandoned the next day behind a grocery near Independence Avenue and Paseo Boulevard; Manzo was not at the scene.

Searchers later recovered his pants with the pockets turned inside out, plus his shirt, shoes and his required heart medication in a dumpster near Cliff Drive and Paseo Boulevard. Those findings—especially the missing medication—led investigators to suspect foul play. Manzo owned the Sound Track nightclub on Independence Avenue and had known associations with organized crime and prior felony convictions for gambling and possession of stolen property. He was on probation and reportedly kept regular appointments with his probation officer, making his disappearance uncharacteristic.

Does anyone have memories or information about Manzo, his work on Independence Avenue, or that area in September 1987?
