Kaplan was last seen leaving the restaurant he owned, the Banana Boat Lounge, in Boca Raton, Florida on December 8, 1977. He had been drinking there with a woman and then left the bar alone in the late evening hours. He has never been heard from again.
It was established that Kaplan made it back to his apartment in the 700 block of northeast 7th Street in Boynton Beach, Florida. His vehicle and the clothing he was wearing the evening of the 8th were located at his residence on December 12th. His wallet, watch, and other items he normally carried with him were missing however. He hasn't attempted to use any of his credit cards since he disappeared, and he left most of his money behind.
Authorities stated there were no indications of foul play in Kaplan's case, but it has not been ruled out. He owned two restaurants at the time of his disappearance, including the Mark Restaurant on Lake Worth Road, and left behind two daughters. His whereabouts remain unknown.
