James Albert Boyd, 48, was last seen on February 6, 1987, at a bank in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he purchased $1,500 in traveler’s checks before a planned trip to South Africa. Boyd dealt in rare and valuable items including gold, silver, rare coins and Nazi memorabilia and was known to travel extensively. He never arrived at his destination.

A few days after Boyd vanished, Tampa bank employees reported that a man using Boyd’s identity, identified as Steven W. White, tried to withdraw funds from Boyd’s accounts. Boyd’s home was found unlocked despite an elaborate security system; inside were bloodstains, bullet holes and spent cartridges. Many valuables were missing and Boyd’s black and silver Chevrolet El Camino was gone. White was later arrested in possession of Boyd’s vehicle and other belongings and was convicted of Boyd’s murder, but Boyd’s body has never been recovered.

His disappearance remains open in the sense that his remains have not been located. Does anyone have information about Boyd’s travels or contacts in early February 1987 that could help locate him or his remains?
