Jimmy Wayne Edwards, 22, was last seen in Lexington, North Carolina on August 16, 1978. A husband and father who worked at the Young Hinkle Furniture Company, his last known days were marked by conflict after he became involved with the Outlaws motorcycle gang. Family members say he had been beaten and robbed by fellow gang members and told his wife the next day he intended to get back what had been taken. He was seen later that day and then vanished.

Investigators have long suspected foul play given his stated intention to confront the gang members and the violent dispute reported by his family. The Lexington Police Department keeps the case open, but decades of investigation have produced no new leads and the disappearance remains unsolved. If anyone knew Jimmy, his movements in August 1978, or has information about his association with the Outlaws in Lexington, please come forward.
