Summary based on 2 sources
On September 27, 1995, 57-year-old Larry Zink was last seen as he left his residence in Delavan, Wisconsin. At the time, family members noted that he may have been feeling despondent. Zink is a white male, described as being 5'6" tall and weighing 141 pounds, with a slender build. He had gray hair, which he wore with sideburns, and blue eyes. When he was last seen, he was believed to be wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans. A notable characteristic is that he wears an upper denture plate and has several false teeth in his lower jaw, though his own front lower teeth remain.

The month following his disappearance, a significant development in the case occurred far from his Wisconsin home. In October 1995, Larry's vehicle was discovered abandoned in a gravel pit located approximately 40 miles north of Pickle Lake, a remote area in Ontario, Canada. Authorities who processed the scene found no trace of Larry Zink at or near the location of the recovered vehicle. The discovery of his car in such a distant and isolated location added a perplexing layer to his case, leaving investigators with few clues as to his whereabouts or what might have transpired.

Since the discovery of his abandoned vehicle in 1995, there has been no contact from Larry Zink, and he has not been seen or heard from again. The investigation into his disappearance is being handled by the Ontario Provincial Police. The case remains a long-standing mystery, marked by his departure from home in a potentially depressed state of mind and the unusual circumstances of his vehicle being found across an international border in a remote part of Canada. The lack of further evidence or leads has left his family without answers for decades, creating an enduring and sorrowful puzzle.

Last Seen: Sep 29, 1995
