David Wayne Waggoner was last seen at his residence in the vicinity of the 2700 block of Lafferty in Pasadena around October 1, 1971. His family hadn't seen him in a couple of weeks when his mother went to his apartment and discovered him missing. The only thing he apparently took were the clothes he wore, his wallet, and a 9 mm pistol. His car, with the key in the ignition, was parked in front of his apartment. His suitcase and a small amount of money were left inside his apartment. A hunter found David's red Honda 350 motorcycle two weeks later parked in the woods just off U.S. 59 in San Jacinto County, about 70 miles north of Houston, near Cold Springs and Shepard. His helmet was located on it. David's family fears he might have run into trouble in a county that, in 1971, was being ruled by Sheriff James "Humpy" Parker. Parker and most of his deputies would later go to prison for abusing young men they captured on U.S. 59. A book called Terror on Highway 59 by Reverend Steve Sellers was written about Parker and his deputies.
