Curtis Lawrence Goodman, 31, was last seen by neighbors in Gainesville, Florida, on July 15, 1989. He was preparing to travel to Miami for abdominal surgery to treat a severe intestinal condition that caused constant pain, but he never arrived at his parents’ home. Goodman had worked as a stockbroker but stopped because of his illness and often walked around his neighborhood and Oaks Mall to ease the pain.

Police found his Northwest 14th Avenue apartment unlocked with lights and air conditioning on, keys on a desk, prescribed medication left behind, and his car in the driveway packed with clothing, a bicycle, and golf clubs. There were no immediate signs of foul play. Investigators think he may have gone to the Seattle area: he had lived in Seattle about three years earlier, wrote a check for over $500 in cash before disappearing, and his mother received a Washington license tag two months later that had been paid for in Bellevue.

If anyone knew Curtis’s movements in July 1989 or saw him in Florida or Washington after July 15, please share what you know.
