David Harry Bleaney, a 46-year-old man from Charleston, West Virginia, disappeared in the summer of 1975. His last known address was on Scraggs Drive in Charleston. Bleaney was a dependable person with a stable job and a loving family, and his sudden disappearance was out of character, causing concern among his loved ones and the community.
Bleaney was scheduled to appear in court in September 1975 but failed to show up, and he has not been seen or heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as being between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing between 180 and 190 pounds. He had brown hair and hazel eyes. A distinct physical characteristic was that he walked with a significant limp, favoring his left leg.
He was known to always wear dress clothing, including black pants, a white shirt, a belt, and dress shoes.
The Charleston Police Department investigated his disappearance, but the case went cold due to a lack of evidence and leads. Over the years, the investigation has been hampered by the passage of time, making it difficult to locate potential witnesses and for memories to remain clear. Despite the challenges, the hope of finding answers and providing closure to his family continues.Last Seen: Aug 1, 1975
