Details of Disappearance
Nelson was last seen at approximately 8:30 p.m. on September 1, 2006, leaving a friend's residence in the vicinity of the 800 block of Ward Lane and Highway 80 in Princeton, Louisiana. He has never been heard from again. There has been no activity on his cellular phone since his disappearance, and he left behind an uncashed $2,000 paycheck.Nelson resided with his father in Haughton, Louisiana at the time of his disappearance and working on an oil rig. He had moved there from Spearfish, South Dakota about six months before he went missing. His family stated he was behaving normally prior to vanishing and it is out for character for him to be out of touch with them. His son was born months after he disappeared. Authorities believe foul play is likely in Nelson's case. At the time he went missing, he had no credit cards, no transportation and very little cash.
Due to his heart condition and his uncharacteristic disappearance, Nelson's loved ones fear for his safety; they believe he may be dead and have offered a reward for the recovery of his remains. He has two sisters. His case remains unsolved.
