Johnnie Oneal Jr., 24, was last seen in Ayden, North Carolina, on the night of November 21, 1998. At about 10:00 p.m. he was observed at his residence getting into a white car driven by another man; he has not been heard from since. Johnnie stood 6 feet 4 inches and weighed about 210 pounds.

He was known to be mentally disabled and had several distinguishing marks: a skin graft on the front of his left thigh from a prior injury, part of his right calf missing, a surgical scar on the side of his abdomen, and a pierced ear. When last seen he wore a white t-shirt, blue jeans, blue Nike sneakers, a gold ring and a matching leafy-plant necklace, a separate ring with a square black onyx stone, and a Seiko sport watch. The main lead was the driver of the white car; that man has since died, leaving few active leads and a cold case that has offered Johnnie’s family little closure.

If anyone remembers Johnnie, the white car, or the man who drove it on November 21, 1998, please come forward with information.
