Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance
Missing Since: June 12, 1991 from Tucson, Arizona
Classification: Endangered Missing
Date Of Birth: May 15, 1979
Age: 12 years old
Height and Weight: 5'5, 140 pounds
Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian male. Dark blond hair, blue eyes. James has a scar on the top of his head. His nickname is Jimmy.
Clothing/Jewelry Description: A white t-shirt with a design, blue shorts and white shoes.
Details of Disappearance
James spent the night of June 11, 1991 at his babysitter's cousin's house in the 700 block of West Paris Promenade in Tucson, Arizona. He was staying there while his parents were out of town. The following morning, he said he was walking home. A witness saw James walking near Oracle Road and Grant Road. This was the final confirmed sighting of the child. James may have stopped at the 7-11 or Circle K convenience store in that vicinity before attempting to head to his home. He has never been seen again.
James resided in the 200 block of east Delano Street in Tucson in 1991, and was scheduled to enter the sixth grade at Amphi Middle School in the autumn of that year. He did not have a history of running away from home, but he was considered a streetwise boy and the police initially believed he left of his own accord.
James's father lives in Michigan and had not contacted his son for several years prior to 1991. His mother left the state after her son's disappearance, but she's since returned and remains in touch with law enforcement. A male suspect was questioned in the years following 1991, but he was never charged in James's case. Foul play is suspected in his disappearance.

Tacho still holds on to hope for answers about how he brother vanished, even after 24 years.
"Do you think he's still alive?" 9 On Your Side asked.
"I do not," Tacho said, "I do not and it took me a long time to realize that, but now we're just asking for closure."
