Lloyd Raymond Gilsdorf Jr., 31, disappeared from Pensacola, Florida, on July 29, 1984. He told his parents he had received a phone call from a man in Houston offering work on an offshore oil rig and was given a prepaid bus ticket to travel to New Orleans to meet someone who would take him to the job site. Gilsdorf boarded a Trailways bus in Pensacola, but it is unclear whether he ever arrived in New Orleans.

His family heard nothing for months; a registered letter sent to the Houston contact was returned undeliverable. Gilsdorf was not reported missing until January 10, 1985. His family suspects he may have been lured under false pretenses and possibly murdered. At the time he had long hair in a hippie style, a mustache and full beard, plus tattoos of Snoopy on his left arm and a zigzag pattern on his right arm.

Does anyone who traveled Trailways between Pensacola and New Orleans in late July 1984 remember seeing him or the man who arranged the job?
