James Robert Dougherty Farenthold, 33 and from San Antonio, Texas, was last seen on April 16, 1989. He told family he planned to enter a drug rehabilitation facility in Florida; his mother bought a plane ticket and a former brother-in-law reportedly dropped him at the San Antonio Airport, but he never boarded and the ticket was later refunded.

Farenthold left behind his passport, clothing, motorcycle and car at his rented home. He had Von Willebrand’s Disease, a bleeding disorder, and a history of drug abuse and psychiatric problems. He belonged to a prominent Texas oil family that had already suffered multiple tragedies, and his family believes he may be deceased, though no substantial leads have been reported.

Anyone who knew James, saw him around April 1989, or has information that could help the San Antonio Police Department or the Texas Department of Public Safety is asked to come forward.
