On the morning of October 25, 1982, 27-year-old William "Bill" Bruce Squire Jr. left his home in Hastings, Minnesota, and was never seen or heard from again. He was driving a gray, two-door 1972 Pontiac Catalina at the time of his disappearance. The circumstances surrounding his departure were not considered suspicious at the time, and few details about why he left or where he might have been headed are publicly available.
William was a Caucasian male with brown hair, blue eyes, a mustache, and a scar on his face. At the time he went missing, he was described as being 5'11" and weighing approximately 180 pounds.
Decades have passed since William Squire vanished, and his case has grown cold, leaving his family with unanswered questions. Despite the passage of time, law enforcement agencies have not forgotten him. The Hastings Police Department and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension have periodically renewed calls for public assistance, hoping that someone might come forward with new information. On the 41st anniversary of his disappearance in 2023, the BCA specifically asked for anyone with any knowledge of the case, no matter how insignificant it might seem, to contact the Hastings Police Department.
The investigation into William Squire's disappearance remains open. Information regarding his case has been entered into national databases for missing persons, including the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. This ensures that his details are available to law enforcement agencies across the country. The core of this enduring mystery is the complete lack of contact from William after he drove away from his residence and the absence of his vehicle, the 1972 Pontiac Catalina, which has also never been located. The case is a quiet but persistent tragedy, a story of a young man who disappeared without a trace, leaving a void and an ongoing search for answers that has spanned more than four decades.Last Seen: Oct 25, 1982
