Jackie Dewayne Walraven, who often went by DeWayne, was 27 when he boarded a freight train in Texarkana, Arkansas, bound for New Orleans for Mardi Gras in early 1991. A single companion reported that sometime while the train passed through Louisiana Jackie jumped from a moving freight car between Many in Sabine Parish and Leesville in Vernon Parish. After that alleged jump he was never seen or heard from again.

At the time he went missing Jackie was described as a white male, about 5 feet 8 to 5 feet 9 inches tall, 165 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. The Miller County Sheriff’s Office in Arkansas handled the case, and the lone witness account remains the only clue offered about what happened on the train.

Does anyone who lived along that route or who rode freight trains in that area in 1991 remember anything that could help explain Jackie’s disappearance?
