Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP20441) and 10 other sources
Carl J. Holland Jr., 23, was last seen on June 10, 1983, after meeting a friend at her residence on Hamburg Road in Eldorado, Ohio. Originally from Richmond, Indiana, Carl vanished under suspicious circumstances, with his 1973 Chevrolet Impala found abandoned days later at a truck stop in Lynn, Indiana. His family did not realize he was missing until two weeks had passed.

Foul play is suspected in Carl’s case, and investigators believe his disappearance may be linked to two drug-related homicides in the local area. When police searched the farmhouse where Carl was last seen, they found a shotgun slug that may have been connected to his disappearance, though no definitive evidence has emerged. Despite thorough investigations in both Ohio and Indiana, including multiple cold case reviews, Carl’s whereabouts remain unknown.

Authorities continue to consider his case an open investigation, and Carl's family, particularly his sister, remains dedicated to finding answers. Richmond police continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward.

Last Seen: Jun 10, 1983
