His left ear was pierced and was torn from having the earring forcibly pulled out. He may use the first names Joe, Joey, Peter and/or Petey, or the name Wayne Miller.

He may have the names “Kathy” or “Sally” on his torso, and he has other tattoos on his body and right arm.

Details of Disappearance:

In May 1989, Rodziewicz visited his girlfriend in Methuen, Massachusetts. That was the last time his family saw him. Although he often drifted around and went long periods without contacting his family, he called his sister from Connecticut sometime around the end of 1989 or early 1990. He called again in 1995, claiming to be homeless in Illinois, but the phone records showed he was actually calling from Connecticut. That was the last contact his family ever had with him.

Rodziewicz said he was involved with a Massachusetts motorcycle gang and may have worked for moving and sanitation companies in different places. He had a criminal record. His family didn’t report him missing until 2011, many years later. Nobody knows exactly what happened to him, and the Methuen, Massachusetts police are still looking into it.
