James Gordon Nevin, 68, left Amherstburg, Ontario, in early summer 1979 for a planned visit with family in Winnipeg and Prince George. He was last seen between 1:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. on June 8, 1979, in the vicinity of St-Lazare, Manitoba.

On June 14, 1979 the RCMP found his 1974 Dodge Coronet, white and maroon, abandoned in a ditch between Rocanville, Saskatchewan, and St-Lazare, Manitoba. Investigators determined the car had likely been at that location since June 8. Ground and air searches produced no further sign of Nevin.

Nevin is described as a Caucasian male, approximately 73 inches tall, 174 pounds, medium build, fair complexion, short white hair and blue eyes. Distinguishing marks include a scar on his right thumb from a skin graft, a scar on his chest and a gall bladder scar on his right abdomen; he was wearing light brown pants when last seen. The Russell RCMP has not ruled out foul play.

If anyone has information about Nevin’s movements in Manitoba or Saskatchewan around June 8, 1979, please come forward.
