James Vincent Colicchio, 58, a self-employed stonemason who worked under his late father’s business name Colicchio & Sons, was last seen August 31, 2013, in Queenstown, Maryland. His absence was not reported until November 11, 2013, after months without contact. Investigators found him living in a commercial rental on 4H Park Road; the unit suggested he may have been gone since early September with perishable food and documents left behind and several cats alive but in poor condition.

Two vehicles were at the property: one with a broken window and another appearing mid-repair with tools left outside. Phone records showed no recent activity and the device had been turned off. Relatives said his neglect of the cats and prolonged absence were uncharacteristic. He had no children or known romantic partners and had lived in Clinton, Rockville, and Fort Washington before Queenstown.

Authorities report disputes with a neighbor over parking and injuries to his cats, and one family member said Colicchio was especially upset after a cat died, believing the neighbor responsible. The Sheriff’s Office keeps the case open but has found no leads. Does anyone with knowledge of Colicchio’s movements or contacts around August–September 2013 have information to share?
