James Horton was 57 when he was reported missing from Toledo, Ohio. The last confirmed contact was January 24, 1998; a friend filed the missing person report on February 5, 1998 after Horton hadn’t been heard from for about two weeks. He is described as a Caucasian male, 5 feet 3 inches, about 135 pounds, with gray or partly gray hair and blue eyes.

Police began their inquiry at Horton’s apartment on East Broadway and found the door kicked in and signs that some personal property was missing, circumstances that raised immediate concern that a crime may have occurred. The case went cold over the ensuing decades and remains open with few public leads.

If anyone knew James, saw him after January 24, 1998, or has information about his East Broadway apartment at that time, please share what you know.
