She thought he would call her later, but he never did. A week later, his grandfather reported Watts missing. Both of his only two pairs of shoes were left behind in his bedroom, along with his wallet.

Watts was an electrical engineering student at Louisiana State University at the time of his disappearance, and had a job as a salesman. He is described as quiet and introverted. His case remains unsolved.

Circumstances of Disappearance
Watson had been depressed about the recent death of his mother, so his aunt phoned him on June 19, 1983 and invited him to a party. While they were talking, his aunt heard a car horn blow and Watts told her he had to put on his shoes and was going to go help a friend move some appliances. She imagined Watts had to dash out the door but would phone her later. He never did. A week later, his grandfather reported him missing.

Watts was barefoot when he disappeared - both pairs of his shoes were found in his bedroom and his wallet was on his bed. He has been described as a quiet, studious person who preferred staying home and watching television to hanging out in bars and nightclubs. He had worked as a salesman and was majoring in electrical engineering at LSU. He has not been seen nor heard from since.

Some of the dates must be off for this case. I’ll see if I can find them.

What kind of salesman? What was he selling?

I have the impression that this boy committed suicide... he had nothing more to live for... his beloved mother had already left... an enormous pain that can never be overcome... perhaps he thought that by leaving this world he could see his mother again... the sound of the horn that his aunt heard surely came for him... the decision had been made... a hug friend... I understand your pain... wherever you are
rest in peace

Was Marion really going to help a friend "move appliances"? Sounds unusual to just straight up vanish afterwards.
