Alan Leroy Carl, aged 29, went missing on September 20, 1979, from Duluth, Minnesota. At the time of his disappearance, Carl was described as a 5'6" tall white male, weighing approximately 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Carl had a known history of alcoholism, which may have been a factor in his disappearance. No personal items, clothing, or jewelry were reported in connection to his case, and few details about his final whereabouts or circumstances leading up to his disappearance have been documented.
Despite efforts by local authorities, including the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office, Carl's case has remained unsolved for over four decades. There were no significant leads or suspects reported, and both his dental records and fingerprints were unavailable at the time, limiting investigative avenues. His DNA is on record, but it has not yet provided any breakthroughs.
The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, and there have been no confirmed sightings of Carl since that day.
Carl’s case was entered into several missing person databases, such as NamUs and the National Crime Information Center, but no solid evidence or information has surfaced regarding his fate. Given the sparse details surrounding his disappearance, his case has faded into obscurity, and his family has received no closure. His case remains open with law enforcement, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the authorities.Last Seen: Sep 20, 1979
