Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP37771) and 5 other sources
Frederick Antone Putzi, 24, was last seen on September 25, 1985, at his home in San Francisco, California. Following his disappearance, no significant traces of him were found. However, in October 1985, his wallet was discovered in a landfill in Blythe, California, and handed over to authorities in December. Despite this discovery, the investigation yielded few additional clues, and his case remains unsolved.

At the time of his disappearance, Putzi was described as 6'1" tall, weighing 155 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. His case is classified as endangered missing, and authorities continue to seek any information that might shed light on what happened to him.

The San Francisco Police Department remains the lead agency investigating the case, but despite efforts, no major breakthroughs have been made over the years.
