This week’s featured missing person is George Gilbert White Jr., nicknamed Buddy. He was 33 years old when he was last seen in Grandview, Texas on September 3, 1975. Fifty years ago now. He’s white, with brown hair and blue eyes. He was 6’0 to 6’2 and 180 to 190 pounds in 1975 and dressed in Western-style clothing, including a cowboy hat and cowboy boots.
White, a veterinarian, disappeared with an acquaintance, James Durwood Grisham. They were last seen leaving a bank together. A few days later White’s wife got a “cryptic” note saying saying something like “sorry about what happened” and to go see her father. We don’t know the exact wording of the note because it’s been lost.
In December 1975, Grisham’s body was found. The cause and manner of his death have never been determined, but in 2010 the authorities said they thought both men had been homicide victims. White has never been located.
