James Davis was 57 when he was last seen on December 4, 2007, in Princeton, California. That day he was a passenger on a fishing vessel that failed to return; neither the boat nor its passengers were found. Described as a Caucasian male, 5 feet 11 inches and about 160 pounds with brown hair and other identifying features, Davis is listed in NamUs and the California Department of Justice missing persons section.

Details about the vessel and the disappearance are scarce, and no official explanation or recovery has been documented. Searches and appeals to Northern California coastal communities and national missing persons networks have not produced new leads, and the case remains open.

Anyone who knew James, saw the vessel, or has information that could help resolve his disappearance is asked to come forward.
