Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9081) and 8 other sources
Jerry Gayle Woodard, a 37-year-old man from College Station, Texas, was last seen on May 20, 1991. He left his home to go hunting near the Navasota River in Brazos County, but never returned. Two days later, on May 22, his blue 1983 Buick Park Avenue was found abandoned near FM 2038 and Long Trussel Road, just a quarter mile from the river. At the time of his disappearance, Jerry was wearing blue jeans, a white t-shirt, tennis shoes, and a gold medical alert bracelet due to his Addison’s disease, a condition that requires daily medication.

Jerry’s disappearance has remained a mystery for over three decades, with authorities suspecting foul play. Despite investigations and appeals for public assistance, no significant leads have emerged, and his case remains unsolved. Efforts to revisit the case continue, with authorities from the Brazos County Sheriff's Office renewing their investigation in hopes of uncovering new information. Anyone with knowledge of Jerry’s whereabouts or circumstances surrounding his disappearance is encouraged to contact local law enforcement.
