James Martin McAleavey, known as Jim, was 29 when he stopped communicating in December 1994 while living in Ashland, Oregon. The last time his sister saw him was earlier that winter; on December 19, 1994, all contact ceased. He’s described as a white male, brown hair, hazel eyes, between six feet three and six feet four inches tall, and weighing 180 to 200 pounds.

In spring 1995 James spoke to his mother and said he planned to travel to Georgia to visit a friend named Michael. It is unknown whether he hitched, flew, or was otherwise transported; James did not own a car. Family checks of his Social Security Administration records showed the number was never used and there is no official record of death. The Ashland Police Department has an open case but few concrete leads.

Who knew James, Michael, or anyone he might have contacted while traveling to Georgia?
