Summary
On September 23, 1989, 23-year-old Adrian Planells said goodbye to his little sister, Barbara, and headed out the door to go to work. That was the last time Barbara ever saw or spoke to her brother. Adrian went to work that night and clocked out in the early morning hours of the 24th. He had a beer with coworkers at a nearby bar before heading home with the intent to study for an upcoming college exam. That is the last time anyone reported seeing Adrian Planells. He never made it back to his Kenner, Louisiana home and in the 30 years since his disappearance, there has been no sight of Adrian or the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro he was driving that night.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Adrian Planells, you are urged to call the Kenner, Louisiana Police Department 504-466-4606.
