Whitfield was reported missing on March 7th, 1987. His wife, Wanda Whitfield, was the individual who reported Mr. Whitfield missing. The address of their residence at that time was Route 3, Seneca. Where the residence was located at that time is now Whitfield Lane off Coneross Creek Road near Friendship Road.

The incident report at that time, according to deputies, indicated an incident had occurred at the home. Afterwards, Mr. Whitfield reportedly packed two pairs of blue jeans and shirt and left the residence walking. Mr. Whitfield, also according to the incident report, took $2,000 in cash, made up of tax refund money and savings. The incident report also said that Mr. Whitfield called back two days later and asked his wife how she and the kids were doing. She then reported to deputies that had not seen or heard from Mr. Whitfield since, according to that March 1987 incident report.

Investigators believe that due to the good relationship that Mr. Whitfield had with his mom may lead to a reason why foul play was involved. No one has heard anything from Mr. Whitfield since his disappearance, according to Captain Greg Reed of the Criminal Investigations Division of the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office. There have been or are persons of interest in the case so far, according to Captain Reed, but no arrests have ever been made.

I'm new to this but I've been looking into matching missing people to does in my downtime at work and it's very interesting to me! I found what I think could maybe potentially be a good match, but I'm not 100% sure if it's worth submitting since this is my first finding.

This doe has a very intense side profile, but I haven't been able to find a pic of Jimmy from the side. What made me think of a connection is their teeth - the reconstruction of the doe has a bit of a gap between the front teeth, but otherwise the shape, size and look of the teeth/smile are similar to me. The doe and Jimmy are of similar height, weight, and ethnicity and the time of death of the doe vs disappearance of Jimmy is about 3 months. Yes, they are about 1100 miles apart, but 17 hours doesn't seem a wild amount of space to drive within 3 months. I just don't have any connection on how or why Jimmy may have ended up in Texas if he is that doe.

This may be totally out of left field and not a match but I just felt called to put it out there.

I wonder if there is a reason foul play is suspected, aside from him never contacting family again? There must be a lot more to the story, if there were unnamed POIs.
