Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP13136) and 10 other sources
Bernard Hudalla, a 21-year-old man, was last seen on March 5, 1983, leaving his family home in St. Paul, Minnesota. He left without taking personal items like his wallet, bankbook, or car, which raised concerns about his well-being. Hudalla suffered from schizophrenia, and it is believed that he may have been experiencing a mental health crisis at the time of his disappearance, with indications that he might have been suicidal.

Despite his family reporting him missing, and various searches conducted over the years, Hudalla was never located, and there have been no confirmed sightings or leads since the day he vanished. He was last seen wearing a dark brown leather jacket, jeans or tan pants, and sneakers. His case remains unsolved, and authorities continue to seek information that could help resolve his disappearance.

The investigation into Hudalla's case has not provided many substantial clues, and his family has worked with authorities over the years in the hope of finding answers. If you have any information, you are encouraged to contact the St. Paul Police Department.
Last Seen: Mar 5, 1983
