Walter E. Kolodzieski was 31 when he walked out of his Jones Street home in the Minooka section of Scranton, Pennsylvania, at about 11:30 p.m. on April 19, 2018 — and never returned. He left behind all his personal effects, including his car and cell phone, and has not been seen or heard from since. His family describes him as a white male, brown hair, blue eyes, about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall and roughly 135 pounds.

He was a Penn State University student studying Corporate Communications and worked as a freelance writer and editor; he also has a young daughter. The Scranton Police Department classifies his case as endangered missing and continues to investigate. In April 2023 human remains were found in Lackawanna County, but no official link to Walter has been announced.

If anyone has information about Walter’s movements on or after April 19, 2018, please share what you know.
