Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9070) and 7 other sources
Gary Curtiss Williams, 26, disappeared from Ennis, Texas, on May 13, 1989. At the time of his disappearance, Williams, also known by the nickname "Gee Whiz," was described as 5'7" tall, weighing 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He had several distinguishing marks, including a scar on his left cheek and a teardrop tattoo below his left eye. Williams may have also had facial hair, possibly a mustache, and a tattoo on his upper left arm.

Williams was last seen in Ennis, and he has never been heard from since. His family and friends indicated to investigators that his lifestyle could have contributed to his disappearance. Authorities suspect foul play, although no concrete evidence has been uncovered to clarify the events leading to his vanishing. His case remains unsolved, and law enforcement continues to encourage anyone with information to come forward.

Despite several years having passed, efforts to bring closure to his family are ongoing, with law enforcement and missing persons databases still featuring his case in the hope of new leads emerging.
