"In 1969, California musician Jim Sullivan released his album titled U.F.O. Many of the song lyrics were about him leaving his family behind after being abducted by aliens in the desert. On March 4th 1975, Jim left for Nashville alone in his VW Beetle.
The next day, the singer-songwriter was pulled over by highway patrol for his erratic driving. Later that day, he checked into the La Mesa Motel in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. Even though he paid for his room, according to hotel staff he did not sleep there but left his key inside the room. A liquor store employee states that he bought vodka late at night.
The next day, he parked his car around 26 miles away, near a remote ranch in the desert owned by the Gennitti family. He was seen by witnesses walking away from his vehicle, and he was never seen again.
Search parties scoured the desert for any sign of the missing musician. Months after his disappearance, a decomposed corpse matching Jim’s description was later found in a remote area several miles away, but despite such a striking resemblance, DNA determined it was actually not him!
To this day, the case remains a mystery."
