AZ AZ - James Zinza, 30, Mesa, 28 Feb 1992

Julessleuther · Sep 22, 2009

I searched and did not see him submitted:

http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/z/zinza_james.html

http://www.mesaaz.gov/police/missing_persons/zinza.aspx

Height, eyes, possible weight match. Nose very similar. Listing states that James might have hair loss later. Age is off, but perhaps??

It appears from ancestry that James lived in CT in 1986, and according to info on his missing brothers site, they have relatives on the east coast. (Also according to ancestry, he was born in 1961, not 1962) Based on the listings, we know that James had at least two brothers; John, and Thomas (who went missing in 2008)

Chaddylex-- Do you ever hear from LE about this John Doe? I still think he has similarities to Benjaman Kyle! I know he is alittle young, but...

When I compare the pics of Mr. Zinza with BK, the noses match almost exactly!

James, also known as Jimmy, was last seen by family in the Mesa/Phoenix, Arizona area in February 1992. On December 2, 2008 he was reported as missing by his brother. Jimmy moved around often in the Arizona area (Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale, Flagstaff) and did not provide his family with updated contact information. All leads in the search for Jimmy have met with negative results thus far.

Jimmy had a ten speed bike he enjoyed riding. He did not own a car.

Havent anything on this case recently, but I believe at one time there was a pending potential match in Utah with this unidentified decedent (https://identifyus.org/cases/8514), who was carrying a paper from the Flagstaff Justice Court. James Zinza has not been listed on the rule-outs to date.

James Matthew Zinza – The Charley Project

James, circa 1992; Age-progression to an unknown age

<<Curiously, he isn't the only person in his family who has gone missing; his younger brother Thomas, who had schizophrenia, vanished from Pennsylvania in 2008, at the age of 42. Thomas's remains were found in a wooded area in rural Pennsylvania two years later; foul play is not suspected in his death. James's case remains unsolved.>>
