Joseph Hunyadi had moved to Dayton from Lancaster, CA six months prior to his disappearance. On February 15, 1981, he packed up and left his home in Dayton and he and his vehicle haven't been seen since. Hunyadi, and family in Lancaster, were in the process of selling a piece of land in Lolo and had been planning to close the deal in mid-March. They had been talking over the phone regularly until mid-February.
