- Details of Disappearance:
- George disappeared on November 18, 1988, in Omak, Washington. He left a bar with two other guys in his blue Toyota station wagon. The car was later found burned a few miles away, and George was never seen again.
Over two years later, George’s brother Edwin also vanished. A man named James Gallaher was charged with Edwin’s murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter and went to prison. Edwin’s body was never found.
Police think someone harmed George. George’s sister said one of the men he was with was jealous of him, and some people told her they saw George get stabbed. However, the police don’t think George’s disappearance is related to his brother’s.
