| Disappearance details | Rossana was last seen in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 20, 1989. He has never been heard from again. His 1988 luxury car was later found at McCarran International Airport (now called Harry Reid International Airport), with no indications of a struggle at the scene. His clothing, luggage and medication were left behind at home, and there is no indication he took a flight out of the airport. Rossana owned the Serene Room, a bar on the east side of Las Vegas, at the time of his disappearance and had no known plans to leave town. He was, however, having financially problems; he had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in a stock company collapse two months before he went missing. Rossana's wife said he "disappeared like a puff of smoke." His case remains unsolved.
