MISSING: Harvey "Gene" Eugene Whitacrel.

In 1947 20-year-old Harvey Eugene Whitacre also known as Gene was a Corporal in the U.S. Army stationed at Sandia Base. He was also treasurer of his bowling league and was considered an above-average bowler.  

On the night of June 30, 1947, he was last seen leaving the bowling alley in, Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was carrying around $400 for his bowling league. He did not show up for roll call at the base the next day. It caused people to worry about him. 

In a side street near the bowling alley, there was a sign of an attack, but some believe it was staged. At the scene were his broken glasses, necktie, army cap, and a bloodstained shirt with slashes in the back, as if someone had been stabbed. 

The FBI and the Defense Department looked into the case s if Gene was AWOL. They spent a lot of time asking friends and family about Gene's whereabouts. They had even wiretapped phones and intercepted mail to try to find Gene. They claimed that his work wasn't National Security, but they were trying really hard to find him for someone who wasn't.

Gene was a white male who was described as a kind of Asian looking in some reports. He was 5'9 and around 145 lbs. He had brown hair cut in a military-style and brown eyes. He also has bad eyesight and wears very strong subscription glasses.
