Rocco Arthur Recchia was last seen on the evening of June 24, 1988, in Poughkeepsie, New York. He was 65, described as a white male about 5 feet 10 inches and 230–250 pounds, with gray balding hair, blue eyes, scars on his abdomen, right fingers and upper left arm, and pockmarks on his face. Witnesses saw him walking toward the train station on Lower Mill Street around 6 p.m., carrying a brown overnight bag and wearing light gray dress pants, a short-sleeve pink shirt, a light blue sport coat, a light blue fedora, a Timex watch with Roman numerals and brown dress shoes.

He was reportedly despondent that day, had a prior brain injury and struggled with depression and other mental health issues, and had left his bottom dentures behind. Years later authorities notified the family that he had been found deceased in Canada; the date and cause of death and the circumstances of his travel there have not been disclosed.

Does anyone have information about Recchia’s movements in late June 1988 or about how he might have traveled toward Canada?
