Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP7988) and 4 other sources
James Leon Throneberry, a 22-year-old man from Seguin, Texas, was last seen on February 12, 1990. That day, he left his workplace, where he worked as a welder, and was last seen filling up his car at a local icehouse. Throneberry never returned home and has not been heard from since. The next day, his wallet was discovered under a bridge in the McQueeney area, missing cash but containing some identification. His driver's license was later found nearby.

Two days after his disappearance, Throneberry's red 1983 Subaru hatchback was located abandoned in a grocery store parking lot in Seguin. While he had filled the tank on the day he went missing, the car was found with an empty gas tank. Despite searches, no significant evidence has surfaced to explain his disappearance. His case remains unsolved, and authorities continue to seek information from the public.
Last Seen: Feb 12, 1990
