On the evening of August 16, 1989, 39-year-old Vincent Allen Greene disappeared from his home on Red Head Road in Saint John, New Brunswick. He had gone into the woods behind his house to look for the family dog. Shortly after he left, the dog returned home on its own, but Vincent was never seen or heard from again. At the time he went missing, he was wearing a blue shirt, blue denim pants, and black size 9 Hushpuppy boots. He also had on silver, aluminum, or stainless steel-rimmed glasses and a gold wedding ring that had lines inscribed on both sides. He was described as being 5'8' tall, weighing 170 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes, and a distinctive scar on the left side of his nose.

Following his disappearance, extensive ground searches were conducted in the wooded area he was last seen entering, but these efforts yielded no clues as to his whereabouts. The search for Vincent Allen Greene involved a significant investment of resources, yet no trace of him was ever found. His case became a lingering mystery for his family and the Saint John community, a sudden and unexplained absence that left many questions unanswered. For years, his family held out hope for his return, but as time passed with no new information, the likelihood of finding him alive diminished.

The years following Vincent's disappearance were filled with uncertainty and a painful lack of closure for his loved ones. Seven years after he went missing, his family went to court and he was legally declared deceased, presumed to have drowned. Despite this legal declaration, his case remains an open missing person investigation. His daughter has spoken about the ongoing fight to keep his memory alive and to push for advancements in DNA testing that might one day lead to answers. The disappearance of Vincent Allen Greene is a somber case that highlights the enduring pain and frustration of families of the missing. It is a story of a man who stepped out of his home on a routine task and vanished, leaving behind a legacy of unanswered questions and a family still searching for peace.
