Walls was last seen in West Palm Beach, Florida on September 5, 1980***. He was carrying a briefcase which is believed to have contained over $100,000 worth of diamonds and other precious stones. He told a colleague he was going to sell his gemstones to a buyer in the area. He has never been heard from again and left all his personal belongings behind.
Walls was driving a rented red or maroon 1980 Mercury Cougar at the time of his disappearance. The vehicle was found later that same day abandoned at the Fort Pierce Service Plaza on the southbound Florida turnpike, with the keys left in the ignition. There was no sign of foul play at the scene, but the vehicle had been driven 500 miles that could not be accounted for.
Walls was a highly successful diamond merchant in 1980; he owned a jewelry business called R and W Gem Imports and frequently carried small gemstones with him when he traveled around the state making sales. It's possible he was robbed which subsequently led to his disappearance. His whereabouts remain unknown.
***Some agencies report the missing date/date of last contact as August 25, 1980.
