Details of Disappearance

Watkins left Lincoln, Nebraska sometime in early November 1998. He was en route to Bakersfield, California to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with his daughter. The police pulled him over on a routine traffic stop in Signal Hill, California on November 16; he wasn't listed as missing at the time.

Watkins never arrived in Bakersfield. In December 1998, he was arrested in Tijuana, Mexico. He was released from jail on December 23; this is the last indication of his whereabouts. He left his car behind in Tijuana and disappeared.

Watkins wasn't reported missing until 2002. Nebraska police are investigating his case.
