February 14th, 1980.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

After driving off in his girlfriend's car, 25-year-old Michael Rosenblum vanishes without a trace.

The vehicle is soon found abandoned, but the Baldwin

So the Rosenblums took their story to Unsaw Mysteries and it turned out to be one of the most extensive

convoluted stories they ever featured as the finished segment ran nearly 20 minutes long.

I have previously featured this case in an article I published at listfirst.com titled 10 Controversial Missing Persons Cases which was originally published in August of 2013, and the case certainly is controversial as law
