Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP39680) and 12 other sources
Lewis "Jim" Stouffer, 50, was last seen on June 13, 2017, in Bloomfield, New Mexico. He had dropped off his girlfriend at work for her shift and told her he would be running errands, including a stop at a laundromat. He was supposed to return to pick her up at the end of her shift, but he never showed up. His sudden disappearance raised concerns as it was out of character for him to be out of contact for so long.

On July 5, 2017, Stouffer's car, a Hyundai Elantra, was found abandoned on an oil and gas road off Highway 575, near Aztec, New Mexico. Despite an extensive search of the area, no signs of Stouffer were found, and there was no immediate indication of foul play. Investigators have considered multiple possibilities, including accidental harm or voluntary disappearance, but his family strongly believes something happened to him, as he had no known history of mental illness or prolonged disappearances.

The case remains unsolved, with authorities continuing to appeal for any information that might lead to answers about his whereabouts. His disappearance has left his loved ones in a state of uncertainty, with search efforts ongoing in hopes of finding closure.
