Packer was last seen on December 5, 1978 in Tempe, Arizona. He left his home in the 900 block of east Laguna Drive to go on an extended vacation, possibly to the Pacific Northwest. He has never been heard from again.
Packer's vehicle was found abandoned at the East Verde River Campgrounds near the East Verde Rive Bridge on State Route 87 in Payson, Arizona on December 12. The car was unlocked and the key was in the ignition.
Packer didn't leave an itinerary for his vacation and his parents didn't know he was missing until February 3, when the state Motor Vehicle Division notified them that his car had been abandoned. He is considered missing under suspicious circumstances. His case remains unsolved.
PEOPLE ON THE SITE TALKING:
Looks pretty close. He assumed the "David Charles Ericson" alias prior to RRP's DLC, but that still probably doesn't absolutely rule him out. He could have established an alternate alias prior to his disappearance.
I wonder how accurate the term "nursing home" is in the description. My father turns 50 this year and moved into a group home in January. This particular place serves men with mental illnesses and has a small staff who monitor medication schedules and keep the guys on track with their appointments and such. Could it be a group home? It seems to me that any health condition serious enough to send a middle-aged man to a nursing home might be included to aid in his identification. My own opinion, of course.
