Gene Taylor McIntyre, 49, was last seen in Hot Springs, Arkansas, around November 1, 2007. He did not come to attention as a missing person until some time later; the family’s timeline is fragmented. After the last Hot Springs sighting, the next confirmed contact came by phone from Padre Island, Texas, when he called his sister and his ex-wife and said he was having chest pains.

Following that call, family members received postcards from him postmarked in El Paso, Texas. Those postcards are the last known communications; no further contact or verified sightings have been reported. He may have been driving a gold-colored 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Arkansas plate 680 MFP, but the vehicle has never been located. The case is classified as endangered missing because of his reported chest pains.

There are significant gaps in the timeline and in the reasons for his travel from Arkansas to Texas, and investigators have not publicly disclosed any substantial leads. If anyone had contact with Gene, saw a gold 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee with plate 680 MFP, or has information about his movements in November 2007, please come forward.
