James Willie Oden, known as Pops, was 64 and living in Nashville when he disappeared in the autumn of 2014. On November 29 he was given a ride and dropped off at the Walgreens at Charlotte Pike and White Bridge Road; after exiting the vehicle he walked away and was never seen again.

He is described as a Black male, 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches, 150 to 160 pounds, with graying black hair balding on top, a gray and black beard and mustache, and brown eyes. Distinguishing tattoos included a firearm on his chest, two pitchforks with a devil on one arm, and additional tattoos on his chest, arm and wrist. He had diabetes and high blood pressure and did not own a vehicle. Clothing worn that day is unknown.

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department classifies his case as an endangered missing person and has investigated but few leads have emerged. Does anyone remember seeing James near Charlotte Pike and White Bridge Road on or after November 29, 2014, or have information about where he might have gone that evening?
