Joseph Force Crater, a judge in New York City, walked away into the night of August 6, 1930 never to return. He was last seen leaving a restaurant on 45th Street. Crater's two dinner companions entered a taxi outside the restaurant and later both testified before a grand jury that they last saw Crater walking down the street. His disappearance became one of the most famous in American history and pop culture, earning him the title of "The Missingest Man in New York".
