James Allen Broscovak was 23 when he vanished from Flagstaff, Arizona after a phone call to his mother on August 19, 1986. Staying at a local hotel, he told his mother he was going for a walk in the desert to find God; that call was the last time the family heard from him. He is described as 6 feet 1 inch, about 180 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes.

No one saw or heard from him after that call. The Flagstaff Police Department opened an investigation on August 29, 1986. The only tangible lead was his tan 1973 Lincoln Continental, California plate 313-SZW, which remained missing until 1990 when it was found re-registered to a person in California. That transfer produced no useful information about how the vehicle changed hands.

The desert he mentioned encompassed a vast area with no clear starting point for a search, and the case remains unresolved. If anyone knew James, saw him in Flagstaff in August 1986, or has information about the Lincoln Continental after that time, please come forward.
