Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP31283) and 3 other sources
Charles Edward Mansker Jr., 27, went missing from Wichita, Kansas, on October 3, 1968. At the time of his disappearance, Charles, also known as "Chuck," was a resident of Wichita. He was last seen in the area but disappeared without leaving many clues behind. Mansker was described as being 5'11", weighing around 195 pounds, with dark brown hair (possibly balding) and hazel eyes. He also had notable scars on his upper left forehead, behind his left ear, and on his lower left arm.

Charles' case took a surprising turn in 2015 when his brother realized that no missing person report had ever been filed for him. This led to the official report being filed decades after his disappearance. The Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office has since been involved in the investigation, working with his family to search for answers. Despite efforts, including hiring a private investigator, no significant leads have emerged. Charles' ex-wife reportedly believed that he might have traveled to Mexico, but this remains unverified. DNA from a family member has been submitted to databases to help with identification should any remains be found.

His disappearance is now one of the oldest missing persons cases in Sedgwick County, and authorities continue to seek information that might lead to solving the mystery of what happened to Charles Mansker Jr.
