Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP33720) and 2 other sources
James Valentin, 25 years old, was last seen in Sarasota, Florida, on December 1, 2015. Valentin had a medical condition that required medication, but at the time of his disappearance, it was reported by family members that he had not been taking his medication. Despite initial contact with his family, the last time anyone heard from him was via a phone call on December 7, 2015. After that, all communication ceased, and he has not been seen or heard from since.

Valentin’s case remains open, but details surrounding his disappearance are scarce. The Sarasota community and investigators have been left with few clues as to his whereabouts. His family continues to hope for new information that might shed light on his mysterious disappearance, but no substantial leads have emerged. The circumstances remain troubling given his medical needs, which added an urgency to the search efforts. Despite multiple efforts to gather more information, Valentin’s case remains unsolved.
