- On February 17, 1979, a truck driver named McCoy vanished. He was last seen at a bar (the Petroleum Club) inside a Holiday Inn in Victoria, Texas. His car was left behind at the hotel.
The last person seen with McCoy was a man with a criminal record, Jean Andre Pagette. Pagette had a history of violence (assault, burglary, robbery) and used many different names. Police searched Pagette’s old property in 2018, but it’s unknown if they found anything helpful.
Because of the circumstances, police think McCoy might have been kidnapped. Unfortunately, there’s not much information about what happened to him.
