Circumstances: Photo age-progressed to 73 years. John was last seen on the evening of December 10, 1967 in Manhattan, NY after having dinner with an acquaintance. According to the acquaintance he had several drinks when he dropped her off at her apartment in Midtown and began walking to a subway station to go downtown to his apartment in Greenwich Village. He was not seen again. John was the sports editor for Newsweek magazine at the time of his disappearance. Many of John's co-workers feel his disappearance was voluntary. He had been depressed for at least a year, due mainly to the deterioration of his relationship with his wife and growing dissatisfaction with his job. Despite his high-profile position, he had struggled financially for years. More than a few of John's associates thought he just wanted some peace, although none seem to find suicide likely.
