Craig Lee White was 18 when he left his home in the 400 block of Washington Avenue in Whitesboro-Burleigh, Middle Township, New Jersey, on the evening of February 23, 1990. He told family he’d be right back after agreeing to help his cousin Jesse E. Watkins cut poles in nearby woods; he left his bedroom door unlocked and his music still playing, wearing black pants, a black and grey Adidas sweatshirt, a grey jacket, and a black knit Raiders cap. Craig was expected to babysit his young son and failing to return was out of character.

Early investigation considered whether Craig might have fled because of pending minor drug charges, but people who knew him said he usually attended court and did not travel far. Suspicion shifted to Watkins after he gave conflicting accounts of where he left Craig. Witnesses later reported hearing Watkins admit to killing Craig, and jealousy over Craig seeing Watkins’s girlfriend emerged as a possible motive.

Does anyone have memories of Craig, that night in 1990, or information about his movements before he disappeared?
