Franklin James III, known as Frankie, was 22 when he was last seen on April 12, 2014, in Lakeland, Florida. He was dropped off just before 6:00 p.m. at the Walgreens on US Highway 98 North, exited the vehicle, and has not been seen or heard from since.

At the time he disappeared he was described as a Caucasian male about 5 feet 10 inches tall and 165 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. Distinctive tattoos included a blue rose on the left side of his neck, praying hands on his right forearm, and a marijuana leaf on his right arm.

Few leads have been reported and authorities have released little additional information about the circumstances of his disappearance. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office continues to seek help from anyone who may have information.

Does anyone have information about where Franklin was that evening or recall seeing him near the Walgreens on US Highway 98 North?
