Circumstances of Disappearance
Munson was last seen in Catonsville, Maryland on February 13, 1984.
At 7:50 a.m., a neighbor saw Munson leaving his home in Catonsville, MD, to go to work. Wendell was a high school teacher in Howard County, MD, and never arrived at school. Investigators believe that he may have been murdered in retaliation of testifying against an auto theft ring. Mr. Munson had unknowingly bought a blue 1973 Datsun 240Z car from a ring member the year before he disappeared.
On the 27th of February, a vehicle that had been stolen the day Mr. Munson disappeared was found at the edge of Leakin Park in West Baltimore. Found on the floor inside were two video store receipts that bore Mr. Munson's name.
