Frank Sanchez, 53, disappeared on the evening of August 30, 2001, after leaving his Baldwin, New York, home with his younger brother Edgar. The brothers left at about 9:15 p.m. in Frank’s white 1992 Chevrolet Lumina, saying they planned to visit a friend’s auto body and repair shop in West Babylon. Family members later said Edgar seemed normal that night while Frank was unusually agitated and did not say his customary goodbyes.

The Lumina was recovered the next day, August 31, parked in a No Parking zone on Grand Street in Manhattan’s Chinatown — more than an hour’s drive from West Babylon. Investigators found no signs of foul play in the car and the brothers’ bank accounts showed no activity. Both men had past arrests related to drug activity in 1994; Frank served federal time and Edgar’s case was dropped, though family members say both had left that life behind. The family reported them missing to the Nassau County Police Department on September 1, 2001, and the case eventually went cold. Frank was legally declared deceased in 2010 by his son.

Does anyone remember seeing a white 1992 Chevrolet Lumina in Chinatown or elsewhere on August 30–31, 2001, or have information about Frank or Edgar Sanchez’s last known movements?
