Francis August Breit, also known as Frank or Frankie and who may have used the surname Knauer, was 78 when he vanished from his Eagle River, Wisconsin, home with his disappearance dated to July 1, 1990. His son filed a missing person report months later after losing contact; friends also said they had not seen or heard from him. Authorities found the last activity on his bank account, where his Social Security benefits were directly deposited, was in July 1990.

Breit was described as a white male, 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 7 inches, 120 to 130 pounds, with gray hair, brown eyes, eyeglasses and a full beard at the time he disappeared. He walked with a bull-legged gait from healed fractures to his nose, right hand and a leg, and was known for wearing summer jumpsuits or red snowmobile suits in winter. He is classified as an endangered, disabled missing person; his case remains open in Vilas County.

The abrupt stop in his pension deposits is a central detail; beyond that, few leads have emerged. If anyone knew Francis Breit’s routines, residences, or last movements in 1990, please share what you know.
