Joseph “Joe” Clarence Wilma Jr.
Mendocino County Sheriff's Office Case# 07-1069
Date of birth: 18 June 1953
Place of birth: Blue Island IL
Balding white male with brown hair. He was 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighed 220 pounds, and had hazel eyes.
Joe graduated from Bremen Community High School in 1971. In 1976, he married. During the Summer of 1989, he moved his wife and four children from Chicago IL to Harris CA.They settled on the Miller Ranch.
In the Summer of 2005, Joe was living in Redway CA. He joined Michael William Desmet of Shelter Cove CA in a trip to Wilma's property in Covelo CA. A large illicit marijuana garden was eradicated by LE on Wilma's property just prior to his vanishing. He was reported missing on 2 September 2005. He was 52 years old at the time he disappeared.
Covelo lies in Round Valley. In early April 2007, a hiker found a human jawbone containing a few teeth in Wylettie Flats in northwestern Round Valley. One source says it was near Wilma's property; another says the jawbone was retrieved from the midst of a 4,500 plant marijuana plantation.
At any rate, LE then extensively searched the vicinity on 6 April 2007, destroying the plantation in the process. Wilma's vehicle and a human femur were both found. The bones were eventually identified as Wilma's. However, no sign of Desmet was discovered.
