Paul Alan Vogen was 29 when he disappeared from his Phoenix home in the autumn of 1983. He was last seen on November 9, 1983, at an address near 46th Place and Indian School Road. Described as a white male with sandy brown hair and blue eyes, he stood about 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches and weighed roughly 160 to 170 pounds; he sometimes wore wire-framed eyeglasses. Clothing reported that day included brown corduroy pants, a brown windbreaker jacket, and blue and white athletic shoes.

Investigators found his vehicle abandoned at Sky Harbor Airport and learned he had allegedly bought a one-way ticket to San Francisco. Family members had reported Paul had mentioned suicidal thoughts, including saying he wanted to jump from the Golden Gate Bridge, which led early inquiry toward the possibility of suicide. No body, confirmed sighting, or contact followed, and the case has been handled as an endangered missing person. DNA from his brother has been entered into national databases in hopes of a future match.

Does anyone have information about Paul’s movements in November 1983 or recall seeing him in the Phoenix or San Francisco area?
