Details of Disappearance
Spernak was last seen outside a Foodland supermarket on Frankstown Avenue in Penn Hills, Pennsylvania. He'd dropped off a Florida business contact at the supermarket so he could run an errand. Spernak asked if he could borrow the other man's car "for a few minutes." He agreed, and Spernak left in his car.

He never returned and has never been head from again. The car he was driving (possibly a black Ford Taurus) was found abandoned and burned in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania about a week later. There was no sign of Spernak at the scene.

Spernak lived in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania at the time of his disappearance; that city's police is handling his case. His disappearance remains unsolved.

Could he possibly be this unidentified person found in Newark, NJ? The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

The height is a pinch shorter than Joseph, and the estimated time of death/when body found is a number of years after 1992 (1998), but the age/weight/hair & skin color line up. They also have a scar on their abdomen like Joseph. There’s no pictures on this NAMUS case though so it’s a hard judge!

I don’t know why/how he would have ended up in Newark, NJ but from where the car was found in Punxsutawney is nearly a straight shot to Newark on the 280 highway.
