Edwin Clayton Peer, also known by the nickname “Manny,” is listed in NamUs as missing person MP86160. Public case listings identify him as a White/Caucasian male missing from Clarendon, Vermont, with his last contact recorded as April 8, 1981. Online sources vary slightly on his age at the time, with Uncovered listing him as 42 and a Vermont State Police public post describing him as 43.
The reported circumstances are brief but deeply concerning.
Edwin was last seen walking down the road away from home in Clarendon, and he has not been seen since. Uncovered’s case page, citing NamUs, repeats that he was last seen walking away from home and that no further confirmed contact has been reported. The limited public detail leaves many unanswered questions for his loved ones and for anyone still hoping for clarity after so many years.
At the time he disappeared, public listings describe Edwin as approximately 6 feet 2 inches tall and about 145 pounds, with brown or dark brown hair and blue eyes. The available case data also describes him as having a beard and mustache. He was reportedly wearing a light blue jacket with flower patches, blue jeans, and work shoes when he was last seen. These details remain important because even small identifying facts can help connect memories, tips, records, or unidentified-person reports to a long-unsolved disappearance.
Edwin’s case remains listed publicly as a missing-person case, and the provided case-resolution field does not indicate that he has been found alive or located deceased. Because there is no public resolution status showing “Alive” or “Deceased,” the available information supports treating the case as unresolved. If there has been a recovery or resolution, the exact date is not reflected in the provided public case data, and the available online information is too vague to state otherwise.
The Vermont State Police in Rutland are identified as the investigating agency. A public Vermont State Police post states that Edwin was last seen on April 8, 1981, was reported missing on April 9, 1981, and asks anyone with information to contact the Rutland office at 802-773-9101. After more than four decades, Edwin’s disappearance remains a painful absence for those who knew him, and any credible information may still matter.Last Seen: Apr 8, 1981
