Jimmy Dale Whitfield was 29 when he was last seen in Seneca, South Carolina, on March 7, 1987. His wife, Wanda Whitfield, reported he left their home on foot after a heated argument, carrying a couple of pairs of blue jeans, a shirt, and about $2,000 in cash from savings and a tax refund. Two days later he reportedly called home to check on his wife and two children; that phone call is the last known contact.

Those who knew Jimmy described him as very close to his mother and devoted to his family. He owned and drove a truck daily, had recently received a promotion he was excited about, and was due to turn 30 in weeks — facts his family says make a voluntary disappearance unlikely. The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office keeps the case active, has identified persons of interest at times, and detectives have submitted relatives’ DNA to national databases in hopes of a future match, but no arrests have been announced.

Does anyone in the Seneca area remember seeing Jimmy or his truck around early March 1987, or have information that could help clarify what happened after he left home?
