James Bryan Shepard, known as Bryan, was last seen on April 10, 2008, in Church Point, Louisiana, when the then 45-year-old walked away on foot and was never seen again. He did not have a driver’s license at the time but was known to drive. The Church Point Police Department handles the open missing person case, which has produced few concrete leads.

At the time of his disappearance he was about 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, 140 to 150 pounds, with shoulder-length brown hair showing some salt-and-pepper, hazel eyes, a full beard, and no upper teeth. Distinctive tattoos included a four-inch sword inside his right arm, a cross with the name Sedonia on his top left arm, and Patricia loves Bryan on his right arm and the back of his leg; he also wore round wire-framed glasses.

Anyone who knew Bryan, his routines, or saw him in Church Point around April 10, 2008, is asked to contact the Church Point Police Department with information.
