    Details of Disappearance

    Reveron was last seen in Lorain, Ohio on January 14, 2004. That day he went to the Hopkins Airport in Cleveland, Ohio and flew on a one-way ticket to LaGuardia Airport in New York City, New York without telling anyone beforehand. A flight attendant on the plane says Reveron seemed very nervous and anxious during the trip and at one point barricaded himself in the bathroom. He vanished after arriving in New York and has never been heard from again. He left behind his ticket stub, car keys and business cards in a car in the airport in New York.

    Reveron is described as a very religious person. He may seek assistance from church and community groups, including possibly Buddhist temples in the New York area. In June 2004, a cocktail waitress at a strip club in Elyria, Ohio says she spoke to Reveron. There was another possible sighting that month in Euclid, Ohio. Neither sighting has been confirmed, but both are considered credible.

    Reveron is a graduate of John Carroll University, where he was a wrestler. At the time of his disappearance, he was working as an admissions representative at Myers University in Cleveland and living in Lakewood, Ohio. He tried to go to New York in 2000, but his family stopped him. He had a nervous breakdown afterwards and moved back in with his parents. He is thought to be missing of his own accord. It is not a crime for an adult to disappear, but his family deserves to know he is safe. His case remains unsolved.
