James Daren Treadwell, 45, went missing after running into dense woods near a relative’s home in the 5000 block of Louisiana Highway 117, on September 9, 2016. He became distraught after learning a family member was ill and fled the property; witnesses reported he ran into the surrounding timber and was never seen again.

Descriptions place him as a Caucasian male about 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches and 160 to 180 pounds, with black hair, green eyes and a noticeable scar on his right forearm. Clothing reports differ: he was either wearing a black and green t-shirt with blue jeans and white tennis shoes, or possibly only blue jeans. Initial searches by family and local authorities turned up no sign of him, and the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office keeps the investigation open with few leads.

Who in the area remembers seeing James that day or has information about his movements before he entered the woods?
