Frank Arthur Cerimele was 21 when he left his Westside Youngstown, Ohio home one summer evening in July 1969 to meet a friend at the International Bar, 1710 Poland Avenue. He drove his prized 1968 Pontiac Grand Prix and was last seen wearing a blue or white button-down shirt, white Bermuda shorts, and flip-flops.

A few days later the Pontiac was found in the bar parking lot, unlocked with its doors open and no obvious signs of a struggle. Friends and family said Frank would not have left the car like that, which made the discovery particularly disturbing. The original missing persons report was mistakenly closed and the case went without active investigation until the Youngstown Police Department reopened it in 2020.

The disappearance remains unsolved. Does anyone have memories of that bar, the car, or Frank from that summer night that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
