Ruben Primrose Wiggins was 50 when he vanished from Pitt County, North Carolina after a troubling phone call on the morning of November 20, 1988. Family members say the call left him visibly frightened; he would not say who had called. He left home with $500 cash and drove off in a light blue 1978 Oldsmobile wearing tan work pants, a gray shirt, and black boots. He was never seen again.

About a month later the Oldsmobile was found abandoned in woods off Maple Cypress Road in neighboring Craven County. Wiggins, who earned money cutting trees and commonly kept three chainsaws in his trunk, was gone and one of the chainsaws was missing. Investigators have suspected foul play; a person thought to be a suspect died in a car crash not long after Wiggins disappeared. Wiggins was declared legally deceased in 2007.

Did anyone in the area know Ruben, his work habits, or see that Oldsmobile around late 1988?
