Without A Trace: Erik Sol Patchin Vanished After Poetry Reading In Florida, 1994

In the early hours of May 24, 1994, a young man named Erik Sol Patchin vanished without a trace in Florida, and authorities need tips in this case.

Patchin, a 20-year-old Caucasian male with brown hair and brown eyes, was last seen leaving a bar in Tallahassee with a female friend after attending a poetry reading.

Patchin, also known as “Domino E” and “Frog,” had a distinct appearance with his mullet-style haircut.

At the time of his disappearance, he stood 5’10” tall and weighed approximately 160 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black shirt, green khaki shorts, and tan size 10 Dickie’s hiking boots with a molded rubber lug sole.

Notably, Patchin had a quarter-sized burn scar on the back of his right hand.

Shortly after parting ways with his friend, Patchin drove alone to Jefferson County, Florida.

However, just a few hours later, his silver 1972 Volkswagen Beetle was discovered abandoned in the parking lot of a Jr. Food Store on US 27 South and Chaires Cross Road.
