Circumstances of Disappearance:
Blasetzky, a Ukrainian national, went missing from Toledo, Ohio on June 5, 2000. He was last seen at approximately 7:00 p.m. at his residence in the 4100 block of Eastway Street. He left in his white 1983 Buick Century with Ohio license plate number NRB-8 and drove northbound on Eastway towards Eleanor Avenue. He never returned and has never been heard from again. There hasn't been any activity on his credit cards and bank accounts since he went missing.

At the time of his disappearance, Blasetzky was suffering from Alzheimer's disease and may have been confused and disoriented. One of his neighbors reported that he got into the car, turned it on, then got out again several times before finally leaving his home. He left his garage door open when he drove away. Both Blasetzky and his vehicle have never been located. Few details are available regarding his case and his whereabouts remain unknown.

<<Blasetzky was a devoted member of the Harvest Tabernacle Church of God in east Toledo at the time of his disappearance; the church's fellowship hall is named for him. On the day he went missing, he showed up for Sunday services half an hour late. This is very uncharacteristic of him; he usually came early and was one of the first church members to arrive. His leaving the house at 7:00 p.m. is also not typical of his behavior because he had stopped driving at night years before his disappearance.

Blasetzky may have been confused and disoriented on the day he vanished. His case remains unsolved.>>

Here is another one that sounds an awful lot like a water accident. While Mr. Blasetzky was initially heading Northbound, the Ottawa River runs vert close by, and there are two pools of water on the edge of a cemetery. Does anyone know if his wife passed before him? Maybe he went to visit her there?
