Details of Disappearance
Vonderheide was last seen at approximately 9:00 a.m. on May 5, 1987 at his residence in the vicinity of the 6200 block of Cambridge Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio. He got into an argument with his mother, left the residence and has never been heard from again. Vonderheide's brother stated their mother called him to help look for Vonderheide, something his mother denies.
At the time of his disappearance, Vonderheide was somewhat transient and would drop of sight for days at a time, but never for this long. His stepfather died in 2009, and in the obituary Vonderheide was listed as having survived him. Authorities believe he is probably deceased, since they can't find any trace of him after 1987.
Few details are available in his case; Vonderheide is missing under unknown circumstances.
