David Richard Williams, a 33-year-old man, went missing on November 11, 1980, from Creston Junction, Wyoming. Williams, who operated a trucking business in Wamsutter, was last seen at a service station/bar in Creston Junction around 5:30 p.m. on the day he disappeared. Before leaving, he placed a call to his wife, informing her that he was heading to check on an oil rig and would return home late. He was last observed leaving as a passenger in a brown or tan Chevrolet Blazer driven by an unidentified man. The Blazer was later believed to belong to a suspect named David Barker Jr.

Despite extensive investigations, Williams was never seen or heard from again. His body was never located, and his case remains unsolved. Williams was described as 6'2" to 6'3", weighing 250-300 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes, and was last seen wearing a button-down shirt, jeans, and cowboy boots.

In recent years, the discovery of human remains in the Red Desert area has sparked speculation about a possible connection to Williams' disappearance, though no conclusive link has been established through forensic analysis as of now. His case remains one of the enduring mysteries in Wyoming's missing persons cases.
