Alexander Edwin Shaw, 23, disappeared from Wagram, North Carolina after his green 1972 Buick was found crashed into a pine tree off Highway 401 on March 15, 1982. The car’s keys were in the ignition and the headlights were on following heavy rain, but there was no sign of Shaw. He was last seen wearing a white shirt and blue jeans. The vehicle showed no evidence of blood or a struggle.

An extensive search followed, involving local law enforcement, the National Guard and the U.S. Army, and searchers checked the nearby Lumber River. There were a couple of unconfirmed sightings of a man resembling Edwin walking along a highway south of Wagram the day after the crash. His father later suggested a possible head injury and amnesia, but foul play has also been considered. A reward has been offered for information; the family continues to seek closure.

Did anyone in or around Wagram in March 1982 see Alexander Shaw or his Buick after the crash?
