Details of Disappearance:
In August 1985, Lovely was moving from California to Massachusetts with his family. They were driving a big moving truck, and Lovely rode his burgundy or maroon motorcycle ahead of them. His family checked on him every 30 miles or so. Near Evanston, Wyoming, they wanted to stop for a break, but Lovely wanted to keep going, so they let him.

Later, Lovely called his aunt, saying his motorcycle broke down in Fort Bridger, Wyoming, and a scary-looking man helped him fix it at a truck stop. He said he was scared of this man. That was the last time anyone heard from him. He had about $150 with him.

Nine days later, his motorcycle was found abandoned near Rock Springs, Wyoming. It was in good condition, with the keys in it and gas in the tank. Despite a big search, Lovely was never found. His aunt said he was close to his family and didn’t think he disappeared on purpose. The case is still unsolved, and both California and Wyoming police are investigating. Some reports say he disappeared from Huntington Beach, California.
