Family Asks Missing East Ridge Man Be Declared Dead

Family members of Robert L. Blaskoski say he has been missing since 1994 and should be declared dead.

The petition in Chancery Court would allow the payment of certain insurance policies and settlement of the estate.

Mr. Blaskoski was living at 1705 East Ridge Ave. when he disappeared at the end of July in 1994. His relatives said they called various employment and financial contacts, contacted Missing Persons, and ran an ad in the newspaper.

The petition says Donald and Kerry Ford of East Ridge "are believed to have had the last contact with Mr. Blaskoski."

It says Mr. Blaskoski traveled in his job and had asked Mr. Ford, a maintenance worker at the apartment complex where both lived, to look after his unit and collect his mail.

It was claimed that Donald Ford "fraudulently and deceitfully withdrew $27,662 from two accounts Mr. Blaskoski held at Merrill Lynch and took $10,850 from his account at First Union Bank and $37,730 from his Tennessee Valley Federal Credit Union account.

The petition says settlement agreements have been reached for the return of $25,500 from Merrill Lynch, $25,000 from the TVFCU, and $2,500 from First Union Bank.
