Youngstown Detective Sgt. Dave Sweeney is shown in front of the former International Tavern on Poland Avenue at Center Street in Youngstown, the last place anyone reported seeing Frank Cerimele alive July 14, 1969. Sweeney recently learned that Cerimeleâs disappearance was never solved and opened an investigation.
YOUNGSTOWN If Frank Cerimele is still alive, he would be 72 years old.
Cerimele was a 21-year-old West Sider on July 14, 1969, when he went to the International Tavern on Poland Avenue at Center Street in his slick 1968 Pontiac Grand Prix to meet a friend.
He walked into the tavern wearing Bermuda shorts, a buttoned-down shirt and sandals.
