Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9970) and 4 other sources
James Olin Fross III, a 24-year-old man from McAllen, Texas, went missing on March 28, 1987. He was last seen while en route from McAllen to South Padre Island. Shortly after his disappearance, Fross's vehicle was found abandoned at the jetties in Isla Blanca Park, a popular camping area near South Padre Island. Despite an investigation, no trace of Fross has been found, and authorities suspect foul play in the case.

Fross, who wore a gold chain necklace and wristwatch, also had a two-inch scar on one of his knees and required contact lenses or eyeglasses. His case remains unsolved, and the South Padre Island Police Department continues to encourage anyone with information to come forward. Investigators, along with the Texas Department of Public Safety, are still actively seeking leads to resolve the mystery surrounding his disappearance.
