- <p> DIED. James Jordan, 57, father of Chicago Bulls basketball star
- Michael Jordan; of a gunshot wound; last seen in Wilmington,
- North Carolina. Jordan, who owned a T-shirt manufacturing company
- with his wife, had vanished in late July following a funeral
- for a former co-worker at the local General Electric power plant.
- Jordan's family, used to his business-related absences, did
- not report him missing, and a search was only begun three weeks
- later after a red Lexus found stripped in the woods near Fayetteville,
- North Carolina, was revealed to be his car. Finally investigators
- determined that a body discovered in a creek in McColl, South
- Carolina, in early August was Jordan's decomposed remains. The
- FBI has opened a kidnapping investigation.
