Paul Sekel, age 22, was last seen on April 20, 1982, in Johnstown, New York. He had been with a friend the evening before his disappearance, but by the following morning, his car was found abandoned on a local road. Despite extensive efforts to locate him, Sekel has not been seen or heard from since.

At the time of his disappearance, Paul was described as being 6'2" tall, weighing 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He had notable scars, including a surgical scar on his chest and a T-shaped scar along his hairline. His personal belongings, including his distinct belt with a large buckle featuring a horse and stones around the edges, have not led to any breakthroughs in his case.

Though law enforcement has continued to keep his case open, no substantial leads have emerged in the decades since his disappearance. Investigators continue to seek any information that might bring resolution to this long-standing case.
