Although Davis has left home for extended periods in the past, he always stayed in touch with his family, which includes nine children in all, and always contacted his mother on her birthday, on Mother's Day and at Christmas.

DUNN, N.C. — Seventeen years after the disappearance of Jimmy Davis, a map allegedly showing where his body could be found was sent to Dunn investigations.

After an exhaustive search, nothing turned up, leaving investigators empty-handed in the now 29-year-old case.

“It’s just like the Earth opened up and swallowed him in and just wiped him from the face of the Earth,” Davis’ sister, Gaylena Harris said.

Harris remembers the last time she saw her brother; Christmas morning 1987.

“He came on his own terms and we would go see him, you know,” Harris said.

Two years later, on Nov. 17, 1989, Davis’ boss dropped him off at his home off Spring Branch Road in Dunn. When his boss came back to pick him up two days later, Davis’ live-in girlfriend said Davis had left the home that morning and never came back.

Davis’ family and investigators need someone to come forward to break their nearly 30-year silence.

“Maybe it’s a person that can’t live with what they know, can’t continue to live with what they know,” Harris said.

It’s a case with bizarre twists, but no resolution. In the summer of 2006, a hand-drawn map was sent to the Dunn Police Department, showing where Davis’ body might be buried.

Geologists used high-tech scanning equipment and backhoes, looking for clues, but they came up empty and were forced to start back at square one.

“If they could send us another map with more detailed information, we’d appreciate it,” said Sgt. Bill Brady with the Dunn Police Department.

Detectives believe Davis was murdered. Court records show he shot a man in 1985 and may have had enemies.

Davis’ family said they just want to know what happened to him, so they can have a homecoming or proper burial.

Anybody with information is asked to call the N.C. Wanted hotline at 866-439-2683.

In the summer of 2006, the Dunn Police Department received a map with the location of the body of an alleged homicide victim. The map pinpoints the location as being close to the trailer park where Davis' used to live. This, and the name of "Jimmy Davidic" on the map, have led to speculation that the map is in reference to Mr. Davis. Ground penetrating radar and foot searches have been conducted in the area. Local and state law enforcement are involved in Mr. Davis' case.

His social security number has not been active since his disappearance. Mr. Davis has had previous connections to South Carolina and Maryland. He has left his home in the past for extended periods of time, but always stayed in touch with his family, attending significant events such as his Mother's birthday, and Mother's Day. Foul play is suspected in his case.
