James Edgar Thurman III, 42, has been missing since June 27, 1986, after last being seen in Las Vegas and at Buffalo Bill’s Casino in Primm, Nevada. He spoke with a family member that day and then was not heard from again.

Thurman’s rental car was later found abandoned on Interstate 15 about 75 miles from Las Vegas. Investigators reported an empty gun case, a gun lock, and a partially empty box of ammunition inside the vehicle, but Thurman’s .45 caliber Sig Sauer pistol was missing. He had reportedly mentioned plans to visit an indoor gun range that day. At the time he went missing he was described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, 170 pounds, with blond or strawberry blond hair and green eyes.

The circumstances of his disappearance remain unknown and the case is listed among the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s missing persons cold cases. Does anyone have information about Thurman’s last movements, the rental car, or sightings near I-15 on June 27, 1986?
