George Gilbert White Jr., 33, a veterinarian from Grandview, Texas, was last seen September 2, 1975. He worked with cattle auctions and embryo transplant research. On the day he vanished he was reportedly seen leaving a bank with an acquaintance, James Durwood Grisham, who had recently been released from federal prison on drug charges. The two may have been discussing a debt tied to a horse transaction, though details of that meeting are unclear.

White’s truck was later found abandoned, and he sent a cryptic letter to his wife apologizing for what had happened. Grisham’s decomposed body turned up in December 1975; the cause of death was never determined. Rumors circulated that White fled to Mexico amid financial troubles, including kiting checks, but his whereabouts remain unknown and the case is being investigated as a possible homicide.

Did anyone in Grandview or the cattle-auction community know White’s movements or contacts in early September 1975?
