Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP30524) and 1 other source
Freddie Louis Peterson, a 44-year-old man, went missing on February 9, 1982, from Astor, Florida. Described as a white male, Peterson was approximately 5'6" to 5'7" in height, weighing between 150 to 160 pounds, with sandy hair and blue eyes. He was last seen leaving his residence and has not been heard from since. Despite his disappearance, there have been no significant developments or clues regarding his whereabouts. His case remains unresolved and is listed on various missing persons databases, including NamUs, where it is assigned the case number MP30524.

Astor, a small town in Lake County, Florida, is situated near the St. Johns River, which has its own historical ties to various cases of disappearances. However, details surrounding the circumstances of Peterson’s disappearance remain scarce. There is little public information regarding any investigation leads or potential reasons for his vanishing. Efforts to raise awareness and gather more information continue to be made by online communities and forums that focus on cold cases and missing persons, hoping to bring closure to his family and friends.

Peterson's case exemplifies the many cold cases from the 1980s that have left law enforcement and loved ones with few answers. Those interested in contributing information or tips are encouraged to contact the relevant authorities, as the search for clues in this decades-old mystery continues.
