Wesley H. Eviston, 20, was last seen on August 29, 1991, at his home on 500 South in southern Noble Township, Indiana. After an acquaintance arrived, Eviston went outside to speak with that person and, on returning, told friends he thought he was being set up. He then left with the acquaintance and was never seen again.
Shortly afterward Eviston’s truck was found abandoned at the Huntington Street Bridge in Wabash, Indiana, with his keys in the ignition, his wallet, and his cigarettes inside. The only item missing was his rifle, which he reportedly always kept with him. Those details—his final remark about being set up, the personal items left in the vehicle, and the missing rifle—are the central unresolved elements of the case.
A judge later declared Eviston legally dead seventeen years after his disappearance. The circumstances of that night remain unclear and the case is officially unsolved. If anyone knew Wesley, the acquaintance who arrived that evening, or has information about the truck or the missing rifle, please share what is known.
