James Sullivan was 34 when he left Los Angeles in March 1975 aiming for Nashville. He drove a Volkswagen Beetle loaded with clothes, his guitar and boxes of unsold records. After an erratic-driving stop in Santa Rosa on March 5, officers concluded he was fatigued, not intoxicated, and advised him to rest; he checked into the La Mesa Motel but the key was later found inside and the bed appeared unused.

The last confirmed sighting was March 6, 1975, about 26 miles south of Santa Rosa at a remote ranch. His Beetle was later found abandoned on the ranch with his wallet, money, papers, clothing and guitar still inside. A two-week search turned up no trace of Sullivan. The initial investigation produced no answers, and his disappearance remains unsolved. Some have suggested accidental exposure or foul play; other, unconventional theories have also been raised.

Did anyone in the area at the time remember seeing Sullivan or his Beetle near that ranch on March 6?
