Jack R. Hemby, 76, was reported missing from Ruidoso Downs, New Mexico, after he was last seen leaving his girlfriend’s home in mid-November 2011. The girlfriend said he left after a fight on November 15, but cell phone records reportedly show no activity after November 9, a key discrepancy in the timeline. Hemby is described as a white male, 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet tall, 190–200 pounds, with graying hair, blue eyes, a limp from a right leg injury, and scars on his abdomen and upper left arm.

He was likely wearing a blue western-style shirt, blue jeans, and either brown cowboy boots or tan moccasins, and carried a watch and a sterling silver belt buckle with turquoise stones. His tan 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit was found abandoned December 8, 2011, in the parking garage of the Inn of the Mountain Gods casino on the Mescalero Apache Reservation. The missing person report was filed with the Ruidoso Downs Police Department on December 27, 2011. Questions remain about his personal life, including a long-term affair unknown to his wife, and whether his outspoken criticism of local racetrack practices is relevant.

Did anyone in Ruidoso Downs see Jack or his Volkswagen Rabbit in November or December 2011?
