James Stephens was 31 when he disappeared from Rosepine, near Leesville, Louisiana, in March 2014. Family held out hope for 96 days until his remains were found in a remote area on July 3, 2014, and officials opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators say an argument between Stephens and Cassandra Ward preceded his death; Stephens had been romantically involved with Ward’s mother. Authorities allege Jose Israel Ayala III killed Stephens on March 29, 2014. Ward and Ayala were taken into custody, and Matthew Andrews and Robert Worth were later implicated in concealing the crime.

Court outcomes reported include a lengthy prison term for Ayala and multi-year sentences for Ward, Andrews and Worth, and prosecutors noted the full motive may never be known. Does anyone have information about Stephens’ last known movements or the Rosepine area in March 2014?
