Notes

John was last seen in Susanville, California at 3:00 p.m. on September 23, 1975. His sister drove him to a local grocery store parking lot where he was supposed to meet someone with the Forest Service about a job. He left his pack of cigarettes in her car as he didn't expect to be gone long. John's sister saw him get into a White van, something she thought was strange because Forest Service vehicles were green. The van drove off and John never returned. He has never been heard from again. Few details are available in his case.
