Paul Gordon Love
Missing since October 2, 1947 from Galesburg, Illinois
Classification: Missing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vital Statistics
Age at Time of Disappearance: 22 years old
Height and Weight at Time of Disappearance: 5'6"; 140 lbs.
Distinguishing Characteristics: White male.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Circumstances of Disappearance
Paul Love disappeared from the University of Illinois Galesburg branch on October 2, 1947.
Paul Love of Hinsdale registered at the U of I branch campus on the grounds of the former Mayo Hospital in Galesburg following his release from the Army during World War II.
He was last seen in downtown Galesburg where he attempted to cash a check at a music store for the purchase of a record. The request to cash the check was declined and Love said he would be back later.
The state police mobile laboratory carrying grappling and diving equipment was brought in to help search both Lake Storey and Lake Bracken. When the search of the countryside failed to produce any results, local, state and federal authorities continued the search with no results.
Six years after the disappearance of Paul Love, human bones were discovered on a farm three miles east of Wataga. Naturally speculation was that the remains might be those of the missing student. Another report linking the bones to the missing student was the examination of a .22-caliber Marlin rifle that was discovered near the scene of the bones. Finally in early March 1953 it was concluded the remains were not those of Love. The conclusion was arrived at by comparison of dental records.

Paul is not listed in Charley Project, one of their requirements to publish a missing persons flyer is that an LE entity must be investigating. IIRC.
Not found to be listed in NamUs at this time.

NOTE: Very good details at article linked above.
Paul has been missing almost 63 years. Did he leave and start life elsewhere or did meet with foul play or an accident? Come home soon.
