Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP15265) and 9 other sources
James "Jimmy" Tidwell, age 58, was last seen on February 15, 2012, in Mount Enterprise, Texas. Tidwell, an electrician, had completed his night shift and returned home. Later that day, his boss called to offer him overtime work, but his wife informed the boss that Tidwell was asleep. He never returned to work, raising concerns among his employer and colleagues.

On February 29, 2012, Tidwell’s white 1979 Ford F100 pickup truck was discovered abandoned at the intersection of FM 95 and State Highway 315, about five miles from his home. His eyeglasses were found inside the truck, but his phone, wallet, and keys were missing. Despite extensive searches by law enforcement and family members, no sign of Tidwell has been found since. His case remains unsolved, and his family has raised the reward for information leading to his whereabouts, suspecting foul play may have been involved.

His disappearance is still under investigation by local authorities, and anyone with information is urged to come forward to assist in solving this long-standing case.
