John Eugene McHan Jr., 22, disappeared from West Jasper, Alabama after leaving on a business trip on August 29, 1983, to sell blue jeans. He was last seen with his brother-in-law, David Martin; both men never reached their destination and were reported missing.

On September 13, 1983, the 1973 Dodge Charger they were driving was found near Jagger Lake in Walker County. The car had been deliberately burned twice, using both gasoline and diesel. The jeans they intended to sell were discovered inside the charred vehicle and the key remained in the ignition. John was described as a white male, 5 feet 9 inches and 142 pounds, and the case is listed as an endangered missing persons matter.

There has been no public information indicating what happened to John McHan Jr. or David Martin after they left on August 29, 1983. If anyone knew John or David, saw the Charger, or has information about their movements that day, please come forward.
