His cousin says Charles Blanche was a superb musician with seemingly little effort.

“He could play improvisational jazz from memory,” said Lynette Seith on the phone from her home in Ashtabula County.

Charles, who was 39 when he disappeared and would be 70 now, is one of 14 missing people whose cases are being handled by the Youngstown Police Department. There are two more cases that city police are helping out within Mahoning County as well.

His case is the fifth oldest that is still being actively investigated. There is another missing person from 1989, Marcell Byers; Phyliss E. Brewer, who went missing from Lowellville in June of 1981 whose case is being handled by the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office; two people who went missing in 1974, John Robek, whose case is being investigated by Boardman police; Joann Coughlin; and Frank Cerimile, who was last seen at a Poland Avenue bar in July of 1969.
