The article has his name as Throneberry, but the thread says Thorneberry.

I didn't notice while making the thread but The Charley Project and NamUs have it as Throneberry while Doe Network and Texas DPS have it as Thorneberry

I have the impression that he was violently robbed, that he drove his car at full speed for a long distance and that he was later murdered... I don't think it was far from where the car was, but he knows if there is a body of water where the car was found or dense forest?
perhaps some bone fragment is found, a tooth or a femur that are quite hard...
either way
rest in peace

Hi, I’m new here. I knew Jimmy. He was my sister’s fiancé when he went missing. I don’t understand how he went missing 34 years ago and they have no DNA or anything. They found his wallet and license under an overpass. His car was found in an HEB parking lot in Seguin. He lived in Lavernia at the time and worked in Seguin. He also had a permanent bottom retainer, which would possibly be found if they ever found his remains. All I’ve heard about his case has been second-hand information. I heard he owed somebody money, so whoever this person was shot him and took his money. I also heard he stopped at a bar after work to play pool and may have met with the offender there. This has always stumped me because after all these years, there still isn’t much information about his case. It’s extremely frustrating! Jimmy was such a sweetheart and have no idea who would want to hurt him.
