James Kenneth Britt, 49, was last seen in Portsmouth, Virginia, on April 11, 2011. He lived in the Sterling Point area and worked in the used-car business. On April 15, police checked his home in the 5100 block of Moonlit Avenue after family and friends could not reach him and found the house damaged and smelling of paint and bleach. Large sections of carpet and padding had been cut from the bedroom and living room, there were white marks consistent with bleach, blood spatter was reported on walls, floors and ceiling, and five of James’s teeth were recovered inside the residence. Those findings led investigators to conclude James had been killed and that someone had tried to conceal what happened.

Investigators focused on Freddie Lee Hall Jr., who had a business relationship with James and had argued with him in the weeks before the disappearance. Two vehicles belonging to James were later found in locations connected to people Hall had stayed with, and Hall’s fingerprints were reported inside the house. A 9mm cartridge casing was recovered in the home and a receipt for 9mm ammunition was found in Hall’s car. In January 2013 a Portsmouth jury convicted Hall of first-degree murder and recommended life in prison. James’s whereabouts remain unknown to his family and his remains have not been publicly reported as recovered.

Did anyone in Portsmouth have contact with James in early April 2011 or recall seeing his vehicles after April 11?
