Peter Strother Madison, 64, was last seen in Treasure Island, Florida, on June 13, 1986. He left a friend’s home that evening in his white 1976 Ford van to return to his rented house but never made it back; his personal belongings and the elderly blind dog he was caring for remained at the residence and there were no signs of forced entry. The Treasure Island Police Department was notified by a family member on June 15, 1986.

More than a month later the van was found abandoned at Ninth Street and Burlington Avenue North in St. Petersburg; it had been stripped of interior furnishings and various parts. Madison, born Peter Scott Gruesbeck and having changed his name in 1947, was 6 feet 3 inches and 170 pounds, with graying brown hair, brown eyes, a hernia scar and full dentures. He wore a gold pinkie ring with a family crest and a heavy custom gold watch bracelet with the initials PSM. Authorities regard the circumstances as suspicious; there has been no activity on his bank or credit accounts.

If anyone in Treasure Island or St. Petersburg remembers seeing Madison, his van, or anything unusual around June 13–mid July 1986, please share what you know.
