James Warren Woodard, 58, was last confirmed on October 2, 2003, when he withdrew a substantial amount of money from a Waukegan, Illinois bank. He did not return home, and law enforcement soon treated his disappearance as suspicious. The Waukegan Police Department opened the investigation and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service later became involved.

Woodard’s silver 2003 Toyota Camry was a key lead. The car was reportedly seen in Texas in late 2003 and was recovered in Illinois in 2004, but its recovery did not resolve what happened to him. Authorities have continued to investigate and have said they suspect he may have been the victim of a homicide. Woodard was described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches and about 145 pounds, with brown graying hair, hazel eyes, and sometimes wearing silver-framed aviator-style glasses; he also used the alias Raymond Dale Thurber.

Does anyone have information about Woodard’s movements after October 2, 2003, or about the Camry’s travels between Texas and Illinois?
