Allen Stolzenberg, 27, vanished from the Bronx in the autumn of 1979. He was last seen leaving his parents’ home on October 30, 1979, reportedly without clothing, money, or other personal effects and for no apparent reason. That departure was out of character and prompted his family to report him missing when he did not return or make contact.

At the time he disappeared Allen was described as a white male, 6 feet 2 inches tall, about 175 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes, thick glasses and a scar on the bridge of his nose. The NYPD Missing Persons Squad kept the file, but the initial inquiry turned up no significant leads and the case grew cold. His case has been entered into national missing-persons databases and remains open, with investigators and family still seeking answers.

If anyone knew Allen, saw him in late October 1979, or has information that could help, please come forward.
