James Lee Proctor, known as Jim, was 47 when he disappeared from Shady Cove, Oregon on December 23, 1990. A retired Pasadena, California police officer, he was house-sitting for a friend and flew off in his private single-engine Rallye, newly painted green and white. He left behind all personal effects on the kitchen counter — identification, credit cards, cash and his retired police badge — and nobody noticed he was missing for about a week.

Multiple search efforts followed but found nothing. Two aerial search-and-rescue operations, in January 1991 and August 1991, turned up no wreckage or sign of the aircraft. A friend from Proctor’s former police department traveled to Mexico chasing a lead, also without result. Proctor is described as a white male with brown hair and brown eyes who may have had a mustache or beard, and he was later declared legally dead.

Proctor had recently married and reportedly told a friend he regretted the marriage and wanted to go somewhere no one knew him, which, together with leaving all ID and money behind, adds to the unanswered questions. Does anyone have information about Proctor’s flights, the Rallye aircraft, or contacts he might have had in late 1990?
