Nathan Blaine McGraw was 19 when he was last seen by family in Denham Springs, Louisiana, in the fall of 1996, sometime between September and October. Reports say he drove a blue compact car that was later found abandoned at a friend’s house in the same area. The specifics of how or why he left the vehicle are not known.

The timeline is unclear: family last saw him in autumn 1996, but the often-cited disappearance date is June 30, 1997, the date of the last known contact — a phone call Nathan made to his mother. After that call no one reported hearing from or seeing him. He was described at the time as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches, about 170 pounds, with light brown hair and brown eyes.

The Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office investigated but little new information has been reported and the case remains unresolved. If anyone knew Nathan, his movements in Denham Springs in 1996–1997, or has information about the blue compact car, please come forward.
