Joseph Paul Gauthier, 32, was last seen April 29, 2015, in Nederland, Texas. That evening he told his wife he was going for a ride; that was not unusual because he often visited a friend and returned soon afterward. Later that night his white Dodge truck was found on the Rainbow Bridge between Port Arthur and Bridge City with the engine running and some personal items, including his shoes, left inside.

Authorities initially considered the possibility he jumped from the bridge, but Gauthier’s wife and family have expressed doubts and believe foul play could be involved. They hired a private investigator and both law enforcement and Texas EquuSearch have been involved; searches have not produced definitive answers.

What can anyone who was in the Port Arthur, Bridge City or Nederland area on April 29, 2015 remember about that night or Gauthier’s movements?
