Eulan Ray Hodgkinson Jr., a 31-year-old man from Pinehurst, Texas, went missing on September 11, 1988. He was last seen leaving his mother's house, telling her that he was going to eat, meet his boss, and pick up a part for a welding job. At the time of his disappearance, Hodgkinson was a welder and had left his equipment out, indicating he did not plan to be gone for long.
His black and charcoal 1988 Dodge Dakota pickup truck was found two days later abandoned on a dead-end road in a wooded area of rural Orange County. The vehicle was locked, and personal items including a camera, a stereo, and a rifle were missing.
There were peculiar details surrounding the vehicle’s condition, such as the truck’s jack being removed even though the tires were new. Foul play is suspected in Hodgkinson's disappearance, and investigators have questioned several suspects over the years, but no conclusive answers have been found. Hodgkinson had previously mentioned knowing something “serious,” which he said he would only reveal in court, adding an additional layer of mystery to his case. Despite extensive searches and multiple investigations, his case remains unsolved.Last Seen: Sep 11, 1988
