Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP910) and 10 other sources
William Nolan Bass, an 87-year-old resident of Mart, Texas, went missing on October 21, 2000, from Bellmead, Texas. On the day of his disappearance, Bass left his home around 9:00 a.m. to drive to Waco, Texas, intending to have his 1977 tan and brown Chevrolet Caprice inspected and to purchase new vehicle tags. He was last seen on Highway 84 near Loop 340. Despite having a blank check with him to pay for the tags, Bass did not carry additional cash or credit cards and never arrived at his destination. His vehicle and he were never found.

Several unconfirmed sightings of Bass occurred in the days following his disappearance. Authorities considered the possibility that he may have experienced a medical emergency, such as a stroke, leading to amnesia, or that he was the victim of a carjacking. Despite ongoing investigations and search efforts, including those involving volunteer organizations like Texas EquuSearch, his case remains unsolved.
