[h=3]Details of Disappearance[/h] Egan was last heard from called he his family in Mequon, Wisconsin on August 6, 1972. He was in San Francisco, California at the time and told them he would hitchhike to Denver, Colorado and catch a flight home to Wisconsin within the next week. He never arrived home and has never been heard from again.

Few details are available in his case. His father died in 1999, and in the obituary it was noted that Egan preceded him in death. Wisconsin authorities are investigating.

Strangely enough, considering how out in the boonies it was then, Orin Anderson would go missing from James's home town in August of the next year. Not saying there's a connection, because there almost certainly is not. William Meyer, also from Wisconsin, it would seem (Fond du Lac Sheriff's Office working on his case) also was last heard of from San Francisco in 1972. Of course, lots of people were going missing from out there at the time.
