Died:
Jimmy disappeared on 30 Oct 1989! He was last seen in Blount County and was going to make a large bank deposit. He reportedly had $18,000.00 to deposit in cash on that day. (1) His pick-up truck was found in Athens, Tn. about 2 weeks later. Jimmy was never heard from again! $ 20,000.00 reward was offered by family, but no additional information came forth. Official documents vary as to first name spelling as well as death dates. Death dates vary from different sources and are from estimates and/or legal declaration. Grave marker states death as 1989, S.S. Death index lists June 1995, and Veterans Affairs BIRLS Death file shows 30 October 1989.

1. Jimmy was driving a Ford Bronco and was seen crossing the bridge over Loudon Dam (which has been "remodeled" since then) by a friend of his, David Jackson. No other person saw him after he left Maryville according to the police. The friend thought there was someone else in the car with Jimmy. His Bronco was found at a hotel after some people noticed it and connected it with police or news information about the disappearance.

More notes:
Two men Jimmy was friends and coworkers with at one time refused to talk about Jimmy's death and would go so far as to leave the room if asked any questions. They appeared to be afraid to talk about it, according to some people.

Jimmy was working with a former prisoner named Sam Husky. He and Jim met while Jim was a prison guard at Brushy Mountain State Prison and Sam was incarcerated in Jimmy's unit.

Some people believe Husky was responsible for Jim's death, having him killed or killing Jim himself. Their construction company was pouring concrete in Maryville, near the airport, and many believe Jim was buried in the wet cement.

No police agency wanted to claim jurisdiction over the dissappearance. Morgan County got involved because he lived in Morgan County. The county where his Bronco was found (Monroe?) got involved. Blount county may have gotten involved, too. But when the investigation led to nowhere, they pointed fingers at each other.
