Seven months after James Alan White vanished from a routine stop at a Dallas gas station, a survey crew working near Paul Quinn College discovered what a long search could not — his remains, hidden in a wooded area just miles from where his abandoned Porsche had waited in silence. The ordinary details of his last known moments — a tank of gas, a familiar neighborhood — now frame the beginning of a deeper inquiry into how his story ended. Dallas homicide detectives have taken over, and the question of what happened in those lost months remains, for now, unanswered.
