Sol Vain Zivek, also believed to have used the birth name Joseph Michael Blake, was 51 when he was last seen in Ellerbe, North Carolina, on March 25, 2019. He left all of his personal belongings at his home, and there was no known communication from him after that date. Those details have led family and investigators to describe his disappearance as abrupt and unplanned.

Sol is described as a white male, brown hair, blue eyes, about 5 feet 10 inches and 160 pounds, with a tattoo of an unknown design on his left arm. No reliable information is available about what he was wearing or whether he had access to a vehicle when he vanished. The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation, but with limited leads the case became cold and remains open.

Does anyone from Ellerbe or the surrounding area remember seeing Sol around March 25, 2019, or have information about his whereabouts?
