Jimmy Maughon, 37, vanished from Winder, Georgia after an evening at Whitey’s Hideaway Lounge and Bar on April 8, 1985. He had just won roughly $4,000 playing poker and was described as a frequent gambler and a familiar face in local bars and pool halls. At the time he was living with his girlfriend in the Bethlehem Mobile Home Park and was the father of two sons; one son had died in a car accident before Jimmy went missing.

The next day his black 1972 Ford Torino was found unlocked and abandoned in a sand parking lot at Fort Yargo State Park near the Old Fort overlooking Fort Yargo Lake. The car keys were missing. An extensive search of the park produced no sign of Jimmy. His mother said he would have only gone to the park with someone he knew well, and investigators have considered the possibility he was attacked for his poker winnings, though no enemies or suspects have been identified.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation continues to list him as missing and the case remains unsolved. Did anyone see Jimmy near Whitey’s Hideaway or Fort Yargo on or after April 8, 1985, or have information about his 1972 Ford Torino and its missing keys?
