James Hurst was 51 when he disappeared from Naples, Florida, on September 17, 1982. His case is unusual: he faced an aggravated battery arrest in connection with a shooting shortly before he vanished and was released on bond. His ex-wife arranged travel to the Bahamas that month, but no evidence confirms he ever arrived. Reports say he may have flown to the Bahamas and allegedly stole a plane that later crashed, yet there is no definitive proof he was aboard or what happened to him afterward. The case remains unsolved and he is considered possibly still at large.

Did anyone in Naples or the Bahamas have contact with James around September 1982 or recall seeing him before he disappeared?
