James Scott Butler, aged 41, was last seen on September 12, 2003, in Hemet, California. Known by the nickname "Spun," Butler had full sleeve tattoos and other distinct body art, including the word "Hemet" tattooed on his chest and skulls tattooed on his back. He was a convicted felon, but authorities do not believe his disappearance was related to his criminal past.
Two weeks after he was last seen, Butler's father received an anonymous phone call claiming Butler had been shot and that his body had been set on fire in a vehicle. However, no remains or vehicle have ever been recovered. This led authorities to suspect foul play, but his case remains unsolved and classified as a suspicious disappearance.
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department continues to investigate Butler's case, but no significant developments have been reported since his disappearance.
