Boehm was last seen in Marshall, Texas, between 11:00 p.m. and midnight on January 25, 2001. He was dressed for bed when he received a phone call that seemed to upset him. Shortly afterward, he changed clothes and left on foot, heading down Victory Drive toward town. At the time, Boehm’s friend’s girlfriend was sitting on the porch. He told her not to wait up for him and said he would see her in the morning. Boehm was carrying a five-shot .357 Magnum revolver when he left and has not been heard from since. Boehm was temporarily staying with his friend and the friend’s girlfriend because his truck was out of commission, leaving him without transportation to work. He had planned to take care of his friend’s dog while his friend was scheduled to travel the day after Boehm’s disappearance. His disappearance remains unsolved.
