Lawrence Maynard Nelson, known as Larry, was 39 when he was last seen on June 3, 1995, at the Florida Naturist Park in Hudson, Florida. A fisherman and tree trimmer, he was described as about 5 feet 7 inches and 160 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes, a beard, a scar on his abdomen and a tattoo on his right shoulder. He was wearing a green t-shirt, shorts and a baseball cap when he disappeared.

Investigators soon treated the case as suspicious. Blood matching Nelson’s DNA was found in the mobile home of resident Robert Myer shortly after the disappearance, and Myer later became a prime suspect. In 2000 a witness said Myer confessed to shooting Nelson and burying him on his property; that statement was reportedly recorded and searches of the property produced no remains. No arrest or charge has been announced and the case remains open and unsolved.

Anyone who knew Larry, was at the Florida Naturist Park in June 1995, or has information about Robert Myer’s whereabouts or property is asked to contact the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.
