Eric Jay Podell was 20 when he vanished after attending his younger sister’s high school graduation in Silver Spring, Maryland. He was last seen June 1, 1985, leaving the event with his family and never heard from again.

Descriptions place him between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 10 inches, 150 to 180 pounds, with brown hair; he may have been wearing eyeglasses. Montgomery County Police investigated but few details about the circumstances have emerged, and he remains listed in national missing persons databases.

Eric’s family has not had contact since that day and his whereabouts are unknown. If anyone has information that could help locate Eric Podell, please share what you know with investigators.
