- A man named Young disappeared in Mississippi in 1990. He was last seen on July 23rd, leaving his job at the Alcorn Russell farm in Jonestown, driving his distinctive blue and white Ford Maverick (license plate 1DBP974).
A teenage girl who knew Young claimed she robbed and killed him on August 1st near Tutwiler, with the help of a teenage boy. She gave this statement to police on August 7th. Both teens were arrested, but police couldn’t find Young’s body or his car, despite a thorough search including a helicopter and a search of the Hopson Bayou.
A month later, Young’s car was found abandoned near the Mississippi River. His shoes, keys, and pants were found nearby later. Because there was no body, the teens were released, and Young’s disappearance remains a mystery.
