Manassas Police Receive New Information in 25-year-old Cold Case

Manassas investigators are trying to keep hope alive after receiving new information about a missing persons case that ran cold more than two decades ago.

Twenty-five-year-old Jerry Plaster of Manassas was last seen on April 16, 1988 at the Manassas Mall on Sudley Road, where a live-in friend dropped him off, Manassas Police Sgt. Lowell Nevill said on Tuesday. 

At the time, the two were living together on the 9200 block of Brent Street in Manassas.

Investigators said they recently received new information from the public about someone who was seen with Plaster on the day of his disappearance.

That person is described as a white man in his late 20s with an average build. He had unkempt, sandy blonde thin hair. 

Anyone with information about Plaster's disappearance is asked to call Manassas City Police at 703-257-8092 or the Crime Solvers’ anonymous tip line at 703-330-0330.
