I wonder why he was not reported missing under his full name but instead as initials J. W.

I wonder how much searching was done by LE around the area where his truck was located.

Wilson was bound over for trial on May 19, 1987, and expected to enter a plea on May 27, 1987. Where was he after May 27 and before last seen date of September 8? I'm pretty confused here. Is the implication he was able to make bond and then disappeared in September?

JK ... We'll stick with NAMUS at 39 y.o.
