James Donald Kimball was 24 and visiting family in Oak Park, Illinois, for Easter when he left the house on April 13, 1993, after an angry outburst over a stereo. He told his brother he was going for a walk and never returned. James had a long history of schizoaffective disorder, took medication, worked and lived in a halfway house in nearby Maywood, and had stopped attending his job after the disappearance.

Physical details: white male, 5 feet 7 inches, 165 pounds, brown hair, hazel or blue/green eyes, with distinctive horizontal red marks on his back. He was last seen wearing a short-sleeved red shirt, black pants, and brown shoes. In March 1994 a law enforcement officer outside South Bend, Indiana, reported encountering a confused, wandering young man who later might have matched James’s description; that sighting remains unconfirmed.

The case is an active missing person investigation. Did anyone in the Oak Park, Maywood, or South Bend areas remember seeing James around April 1993 through early 1994?
