Charles R. Elmquist, a 34-year-old man from Iowa City, Iowa, was last seen on November 16, 1979. Elmquist, who was disabled and required assistance in caring for himself, disappeared under mysterious circumstances. His 1961 blue GMC van was discovered the following day, abandoned in a storage lot at the University of Iowa Hydraulics Laboratory. There was no sign of Elmquist, and despite extensive searches, his whereabouts remain unknown.
Elmquist was described as 5'10" tall, weighing about 125 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. His case is classified as endangered missing due to his disability, which would have made him particularly vulnerable. Investigators have not been able to determine what happened to him after his disappearance, and his case remains unsolved.
The Iowa City Police Department and other agencies continue to seek information that might help solve this decades-old mystery.Last Seen: Nov 16, 1979
