Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP25613) and 9 other sources
James Vincent Colicchio, a 58-year-old self-employed stonemason, was last seen on August 31, 2013, in Queenstown, Maryland. His disappearance, however, was not reported to the Queen Anne's County Sheriff's Office until November 11, 2013, after he had not been seen for several months. Investigators discovered that Colicchio had been living in a commercial rental unit on 4H Park Road. The state of his residence suggested he may have been gone since early September, with perishable food and documents left behind. Adding to the concern was the discovery of several cats in his unit, which were found alive but in poor condition. Relatives informed authorities that it was highly uncharacteristic of Colicchio to neglect his beloved pets.

Further investigation at the scene revealed more troubling details. Colicchio's vehicles were found at the rental property; one had a window broken out, and the other appeared to be in the middle of repairs, with tools left outside. An analysis of his phone records showed no recent activity, and the device had been turned off. Known to be a private person, Colicchio had no children or known romantic partners and largely kept to himself. By trade, he was a stone mason and operated under his deceased father's business name, Colicchio & Sons. Authorities learned that prior to his disappearance, Colicchio had been having disputes with a neighbor over parking and injuries his cats had sustained. One family member recounted that he was particularly angered by the death of one of his cats, believing the neighbor was responsible.

The investigation into James Colicchio's whereabouts has been hampered by a lack of leads and his solitary lifestyle. Despite the passage of time, law enforcement continues to seek information that could shed light on his disappearance. The circumstances of his case—the neglected pets, the state of his vehicles, and the conflict with a neighbor—paint a concerning picture. His prior addresses included Clinton, Rockville, and Fort Washington, Maryland. The Queen Anne's County Sheriff's Office has kept his case open, periodically checking databases for any sign of him, but so far, their efforts have yielded no new information. The case remains one of only a few unsolved missing person cases in the county, a quiet but persistent mystery.
