Leonard Allen Hausner, known to friends as Lenny, was 28 when he was last seen on March 14, 1982, at his apartment at 275 Beech Street in Hackensack, New Jersey. He lived alone. The last contact date is listed as March 15, 1982. He was described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches, about 135 pounds, with brown hair and eyes, large-framed Geoffrey Beene glasses, a mustache and goatee, moles on his neck and torso, and a small scar on his left cheek. When last seen he was reportedly wearing a brown corduroy jacket with white acrylic lining, a white shirt, and brown laced shoes with stitching.

Shortly before his disappearance Hausner filed a police complaint alleging a radio worth $40 had been stolen. The case remained a missing person investigation until 1988, when a suspect confessed to murdering him, claiming to have pushed him off a 400-foot cliff at the Rockefeller Lookout in the Palisades Interstate Park. A search of the area turned up no remains or physical evidence; without a body prosecutors dropped the charges and the case went cold. The New Jersey State Police Major Crime Bureau Homicide North Unit currently handles the investigation.

Does anyone have information about Hausner’s last known movements or the area around the Palisades from 1982 that could help investigators?
