Details of Disappearance:

Martin disappeared in Dobbs Ferry, New York, on May 3, 1981. He’d been at a party near the Hudson River. Around midnight, he left the party to go to a friend’s house, but he never arrived. His wallet was found where he was last seen.

Martin was a popular junior in high school, known for being artistic and sensitive. He played football and basketball. His family is sure he didn’t run away; he had a new job and was looking forward to it.

For over 20 years, his case was a missing person case. But in 2002, police changed it to a probable homicide. They think he might have gotten into a fight with some other young people and was killed, possibly by accident. Searches for his body haven’t found anything.

His parents are still alive but heartbroken, hoping for answers. The case remains unsolved.
