James Word, 48, was last seen on June 8, 2013, in San Francisco. At the time he was reported to be experiencing homelessness and was known to frequent local service organizations including Glide Memorial Church, St. Anthony’s dining hall, and the Hospitality House. He was described as a Caucasian male, 5 feet 10 inches and about 145 pounds, with brown hair.

Word had been evicted from a Turk Street residence in July 2013, and by August 2013 he had stopped picking up his mail, which prompted an official missing person report. The case remains unsolved; a transient lifestyle and limited local ties are noted as factors that have complicated locating him. No major breakthroughs have been reported.

If anyone knew James, saw him after June 8, 2013, or has information about where he might have gone, please contact the authorities handling the case.
