Cantea was last seen when he visited a friend on July 3, 1975 to return a borrowed record. Another friend called his family days later to ask if they knew where Cantea was. A look around his Elizabeth Avenue apartment turned up nothing; everything was in order except that his personal items, wallet, car and house keys, comb, loose change and cash were strewn about on his dresser. His 1965 Mustang sat outside. His family last saw Frank on June 22, 1975, when the family went to Seattle for an all-day outing. At the time, he didn't seem troubled or upset in anyway.
